Sir
you will then commit a mistake which
was probably made by one of your clerks under 
under date of April  3 / 1855 a letter [illegible]
acknowledging the receipt, the "Claim of
Diodema Stewart No 37583 for Bounty land
under the act of 3d March 1855. There is
mistake about this for I have not sent to you office any such claim. But
did send additional evidence in the
case of Diadema Fuller formerly widow of
John Stewart of N. York under act of July 1836.
By unamining [illegible] this letter you will
discern your mistake, and I hope you will let
know immediately what other evidence is
wanted to make out in case. This claim
was commenced by Lyon attorney for
claimant the old lady is dead and it is
the claim of her heir.
with respect yours
Samuel White
