Sir
Enclosed I forward you the application of George Deneger (Denegar) to be restored on the Pension List.  You will perceive by the enclosed certificate that he was placed on the list in 1820 and his pay commenced in Dec. 1819 and he says the reasons why he has not before renewed his application are that he informed John B Luther to obtain his papers and gave him a power to receive the money that Luther soon afterwards died and that he could not obtain the possession of his papers and (illegible) thought he could by his own industry support himself that he has not received any money on account of his pension up to this day.  By the special request of Mr. Deneger (Denegar) I enclose his certificate which you will please return.

Yours Respectfully
