destroyed portions of the leaders of the left hand, rendering it stiff,
leaving him largely incapacitated to do any physical labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Westmoreland shall examine into the condition of the above
named P. C. Balderson, a Confederate soldier, and should it be that
he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now
afllicted, old, and without means; that he is needy and poor, and should
receive aid from Virginia; and ‘if the county court of Westmoreland
should certify the above as facts to the auditor of public accounts of
Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is directed to place the
neme of P. C. Balderson on the pension list and pay him annually the
sum of fifteen dollars on and after the first day of April, nineteen
hundred.
