Whereas James P. Railey, a disabled Confederate soldier, is suffering
from old age and poverty, and was a true and gallant soldier during
the war, and was loyal to Virginia; therefore,

county court of Albemarle shall examine into the condition of the
above-named James P. Railey, a Confederate soldier; and should it
be found that he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and
that he is now afflicted and disabled, and incapacitated for manual
labor, by reason of injury, disease, or old age; that he is poor and
needy, and should receive aid from Virginia; and if the county court
of Albemarle shall send a certificate of the fact to the auditor of_public
accounts in Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is directed
to place the name of James P. Railey on the pension list, and pay him
annually the sum of fifteen dollars on and after the first day of April,
nineteen hundred.
