Dear Sir:
     We the undersigned citizens of this place and taxpayers respectfully request of  you that you use your influence to have the name of  W. B. Hardin of Polk County placed in the Appropriations Bill
as a Veteran Pensioner with usual pay. Mr. Hardin has before been a Pensioner under all the general pension laws of  Texas. He was in the battle of  San Antonio where he was wounded--He is over 80 years of age--his wife nearly same age is living with him. He has no means of support and is absolutely in indigent circumstances . By attending to this matter you will greatly aid one who is really deserving-- a bona fide Veteran of  the war of the Revolution--and we will take it as a
personal favor to us.

Yours Very Truly,
