He states further that he has never made application for a pension simply because he has been supported comfortably (illegible) accepting what many have called the charity of the government; that this also has prevented him from making application to be enrolled in the pension list.

E. F. ADAMS.
SHERMAN & ADAM.
ATTORNEYS AND LAND AGENTS,
Galesburg, Ills.
Special attention given to the prosecution
of Military Land Claims for Soldiers
of the War of 1812, and their Heirs.

CORRESPONDENTS are requested to reply with as little delay as possible.
If the information asked for or business contemplated, cannot be attended
to at once, a reply stating the cause and probable length of the delay is
desired. As several interchanges of letters must usually pass before the
title papers of our clients can be gotten into shape to enable us to recover
or sell their lands, it is extremely important that each letter should be attended
to with dispatch. Otherwise the time consumed in the preparation
of a case is liable to operate (as in some instances it has operated,) to the
defeat of a favorable result.

Galesburg, Ill. Oct. 22nd 1859
