J. L. Edwards Esq.

Sir, I am not in the Habit of troubling the department with Remarks or Solicitation upon the applications by me transmitted but in this instance permit me Sir to observe that the applicant to my own knowledge as respects  his pecuniary circumstances & Heath is all that he has represented himself in his declaration. He is frail & entirely dependent & has been so since he came to this Country __ Surely he is such as was contemplated by the makers of the Law would come within its provision.

With Regard to the Deed made to the purchase of his farm it could only be corroborating evidence of the sale & attended with so much trouble to procure that I am induced to believe it will not be required by the Department.

Respectfully Sir
Your obedient Servt.
