The enclosed is for the Increase of the Pension Mr. Dennis Dailey your neighbours (He lives on Mr. Pitts Land He now drawes (draws) 96 $ and no doubt is entitled to at least 100$ ^Pension and I Suppose more than this amount as he was a Trumpter (Trumpeter) for Col Washington Light Horse which will extend back as Fair 1828 if he should be entitled to land grant the Unnited (United) Stats (States) and if ^he is not entitled to land to 1832 you will See in his application for Land he has made a Power of Attorney to you He has also laid his Claim before the executive of Virginia and also has made you a Power of Attorney He thinks there is money due him from the United States for his Service in the War of Revolution S N Parker Esqr Register of the Land office has agreed to Get Copies of Papers in the Case of Mr. John Jacobs and Sarah Tinny and Powers of Attorney have been sent to him This evidence will entitle Mrs. Tinny to a Pension under the act of July 4 1836 and John Jacobs to Five years Pension than he now received.

It any thing but Record widen will do In the Case of Mrs. Sarah Tinny the widow of Obadiah Tinny the Records Shows his Service in the Regular Line and intitle (entitle) him to a Pension under the act of July 7. 1838 and the Militia Service which was Performed after their marriage is already (Proved crossed out) Proven by two or Three Witness which is on File in the Pension office. They have agreed to allow her a Pension under the first man act of 60$ Per Anum (Annum) when her declaration should be forward which has been done Some months ago I think it might Proble that the evidence from Richmond would entitle her to 80$ under the act of July 4. 1836 and that L H Parker, Esqr. would forward to you, if requested immediately I intent to have Forward the Petition to the Governor of Virginia to have when I an receive writing but have Concluded to him & to you for you to Despon of it as you may.
