J.L. Edwards, Esquire
I inclose you a letter &c which I have just received.  I recollect some of the circumstances relating to the application of Jared Dixon- which are enumerated- and altho' I have no recollection of having received from you his papers in 1821.  Yet I am certain if I did receive them I forwarded them either to him, or to the person applying to me.  Having unfortunately lost the batch in which I kept a minute of all the business committed to me, and how I had dis[ileg] of the papers &c I am unable to ascertain to whom they were sent. I have them not - nor do I ever keep such business any considerable time - but transmit them & then forget them altogether - Perhaps you can furnish him with a new certificate, as I presume all the papers necessary to obtain his pension must be in your office and if so request that you will do it & oblge, Yours very respectfully
