Livingston, Texas
March 12th 1885
Honorable W. L. Upton
Chairman Finance Committee
House of Representatives, 19th Legislature
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, |
