Sir,

    I now enclose to you a certificate in Madden's case which answer the description you gave in your last fav. The State of Pennsylvania distributes donation lands to such soldiers only, who served during the war. - Thomas Madden applied lately to our board of property, which on the evidence of J.P. Harmar's certificate without hesitation granted him a patent. I send the enclosed cert. as I received it without being authentication.  I presume however the handwriting of Gen. Karmer will be known at the war office. 
                                With much respect I am Sir
                                 your obedient servant.
