Comr [Commissioner] of Pensions
Sir:  I send you by Express 22
pension certificates which have been on
file with me many years.  Some who
I know to be dead are so marked,
and others I suppose to be. I know
that several have not collected for
the certificates who are dead and have
not collected the balance due.
Some may have had claims made
for new certificates, on the ground of the
loss of their certificates.  I used to loan
to the poor and have lost considerable
