having a multiplicity of business he has omitted to
mention my reasons for not making application
sooner, my reason is this (tho often solicited by my friends to apply) that there were so many appli
cants for pensions that I did not consent to be
charge to my country whilst I was able to
support myself & family, but old age has crept
on & made me a Solicitor, Shoud this not answer
& there should be any default pray let me know as
soon as possible & duly yrs Obt Isaac Farrell
