Port Huron February 3rd 1865
Applicant's Service.
I hereby Certify, That I have carefully examined Levi E McLallin, late a Corporal in Co 'C' of the 27th Regiment Mich. Inf. Vol. in the service of the United States, who was discharged at Petersburg Va, on the 20th day of January, 1865, and is an applicant for an invalid pension, by reason of alleged disability resulting from Gun Shot Wound of lung & liver w/fracture of ribs.
Degree of disabililty.
In my opinion the said Levi E McLallin is three fourths incapacitated for obtaining his subsistence by manual labor from the cause above stated.
Origin.
Judging from his present condition, and from the evidence before me, it is my belief that the said disability occurred in the service aforesaid in the line of duty.
Probable duration.
The disability is permanent although will be much reduced in time.
A more particular description of the applicant's condition is subjoined.
Particular condition.
The ribs were broken by a concussion of a piece of shell & being the last head[?] never united properly. The ball entered just above the right nipple apparently passing obliquely downwards wounding lung & liver & probably lodging in the [illegible] organ producing considerable increase in size & is yet very tender.

This certainly provides a lot of information on your ancestor's service, and injury.
Thank you for joining Amanuensis Monday, and for the link.
This is my third week of transcribing Levi's pension file. I have enough material to last a year!
