Scope and content:

The Pension Clerk's Correspondence subseries is housed in fourteen archival boxes and is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or pensioner. This subseries documents correspondence sent to and from John H. Johnson as pension clerk. The correspondence relates to pensions for Confederate veterans & widows, the war records of veterans, payments of claims, funeral expense claims, deaths of pensioners, the rerating of pensions in cases of total disability, searches for Civil War pensioners among the Confederate war records at the Virginia State Library, and the receipt of pension payments or missing payments. The correspondence often includes change of address or death of pensioner cards submitted by pensioners or their next of kin to C. Lee Moore, Auditor of Public Accounts. Noteworthy is a letter from John Saunders, Attorney General, to the pension clerk regarding his opinion respecting the eligibility of West Virginia residents who entered the Lee Camp Home in Virginia.

Several files from 1925 were discovered after processing was completed. Though not individually processed they were filed at the end of each alphabetic letter.
