Proctor, Owsley County, Kentucky
11th January 1856
Mr Daniel Hoover Esqr
I have received a letter again from the comptroller of North Carolina. Mr. George W. Brooks, upon the question I laid before you when I last saw you. He still writes in substance what I did before. I have not since I saw you, pressed the commissioner of pensions to take up the case, because I have not as yet got the information McQueen to say but little about the case, for he is doing the case no good the way he is talking. I should of been at your house before this time if winter had not been so severe. You may depend whenever the case is allowed I will come to your house immediately, so that you and Bill McQueen can take steps as you may choose. I intend to come to see you just as soon as the weather brakes.
I am yours Ever True
W.M. Fulkerson
Note: The above letter pertains to the Revolutionary War pension for Daniel Hoover's father-in-law, John McQueen, who died 14 February 1855. He had attempted to get pension started but died in the process. Legal problems resulted as a result of this.
