Virginia cavalry, was a true and gallant soldier during the late war;
was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas he was severely wounded and is now seventy-seven years
old and almost totally disabled; is poor and needy, and unable to
perform manual labor; therefore,

county court of Westmoreland county shall examine into condition
of the above-named George Dodd, and ‘should it be that he was true
and loyal to Virginia through the war and that he is now afflicted and
incapacitated for manual labor; that he is needy and poor, and should
receive aid from the state of Virginia, and if the county court of West-
moreland county 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 George Dodd on the pension list and
pay him annually the sum of fifteen dollars, on and after the first day
of April, nineteen hundred.
