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

above-named James Pritchet, 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 bv
reason of injury, disease, or old age, that he is needy and poor, 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 Pritchet on the pension list, and pay him annually
the sum of fifteen dollars, on and after the first day of April, nineteen
hundred.
