Hon sir

I have received a letter from the War
Department Pension Office, directed to the [illegible]
William Russell dated March 10th 1831. And am
surprised that it should be required of Wm. Grogan
to account for property disposed of since
the 18th March 1818 when he has sworn that he
had no property at that time nor since and from
the same by two witnesses and was certified by the
court, I wish to read carefully his declaration
and proof on this subject. As to the second
point that he has not applied earlier for
a pension to obviate that difficulty I forwarded
the first declaration he made before Judge
Moore made in the year 1818 which must now
be on file in your office since that period he
has been in vain making application forms
besides the one now forwarded he  made one
on the fourth day of August 1828 and forwarded
it to the Treasury Department. If you should
be of opinion that it is necessary to [illegible]
further proof in that case write and at 
the next court in this county the further 
proof will be furnished. But unless
something is done spedily for Wm. Grogan
his pension may not arrive in time to pay
his funeral expenses, as he is now eighty
nine years of age

Sir Enclosed I send you Patrick Grogans application
for a pension. The Deposition of Hezekiah Lindsey
was taken a number of years ago with an intention
of making an application for a pension. Mr Lindsey
is since dead and so is all the other witnesses that Mr
Grogan served with by whom he could expect to
prove his actual services in the Revolutionary war

If the papers are not correctly made out
please point out the defects and give such information
as to the points that no mistake can
easily answer.

If the department of war can be
satisfied that Mr Grogan served in the Revolutionary
war I can open them that they cannot grant a
pension to any person who stands in greater need yet
he has not owned nor been [illegible] more than his [illegible]
(which is frequently very [illegible]) for more that
and is nearly blind not able to work at anything
depends entirely upon his children for support who are
also in indigent circumstance
