GEN. F. C. AINSWORTH,

Dear Sir:
James H. Harvell, private in 10th. Mo. Confederate Battery, is
an applicant for ex-confederate pension under the lasw of Arkansas, and
knowing nothing of any of his comrades, is trying to make proof of his
service by documentary evidence. He was a federal prisoner, I think, at the

the necessary papers showing that fact, and greatly oblige.
If above request is not explicit enough, in not giving sufficient
information to enable you to examine the records, please outline to me the
necessary points on which to base a request of this kind.
Very respectfully,
A.P. Golden, Clerk.
