To his excellency
Z. B. Vance as
I have been a friend to you
I wish a little advise . as I was
forty six years old last June
can they take me as a conscript
when the Sencises [1] was taken I
did not know my age and it
was put down yonger and now
they claim me an that. I have
had my age proven, but they
rather seem to claim me yet
Sir I wish you to write to
me as soon as you get this
and let me know what to do
yours truly John Hall
direct to John Hall living on
castles creek wilkes Co
