Whereas T. W. Hawkins, a disabled Confederate soldier of Pickett’s
division, fifty-third Virginia regiment, was a true and gallant soldier
during the late war, was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following disabilities—to wit:

From a wound received in the shoulder at Gettysburg, from which
he has never recovered, and from rheumatism contracted during the
war; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
county court of Dinwiddie shall examine into the condition of the
above-named T. W. Hawkins, a Confederate soldier, and should it
be that he was true and loval to Virginia, and that he is now affected
as stated above, from the ecifects of the wound, and in needy circum-
stances, is eighty years old, and unable to do manual labor, that he is
needy and poor, and should receive aid from Virginia, and if the county
court of Dinwiddie should send a certificate of the facts to the auditor
of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is
directed to place the name of T. W. Hawkins on the pension list and
pay him the sum of fifteen dollars on and after the first day of April,
nineteen hundred.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
