a compilation of bodily infirmity - I trust therefore he will receive the favorable notice of your Department, for from this testimony exhibited and from his statements he certainly is entitled to the assistance of his country for support - I also send you this deposition of Nathan Northington in support of the claim of Chamberlin - the certificate of Chamberlins is not attached, because the man who applied for the deposition is in the habit of drinking and forgot to comply with all the directions - The deposition however of Coleman will suffice-  I have the honor to be your able  (illegible - servant?)
