Sir

I enclosed a supplementary affidavit of John Nevins and also of Garret Nevins in support of the claims of the former to a pension under the act of 7 June 1832.  I have been personally acquainted with John Nevins the claimant for more than forty years and know him to be a man of veracity and one in whose statement I place entire confidence. I believe the reason assigned by him for a delay in his application to be true as it is consistent with his general character until within a year back he was a robust healthy man but when I last saw him was much wounded 
in flesh and apparently in feeble health.

Yours very respectfully
James Parker
