J.L. Edwards Esq.
Sir, 
Your letter 9th 24th May 1834 in reference to the claim of Daniel McGraw for a pension was duly rec'd and seen and announced in consequence of the ill health of the applicant and her inability to call and see me on the subject. You are pleased to state in your letter among other things as follows. The claim of Daniel McGraw has been amended and suspended. The minute specification & many terms of service (very few of which exceeded 10 days ). It would appear cold not have been made by the pres. form of memory & if he was unable to make it from memory, draw of a Diary, the original should be furnished. Mr. McGraw has called at my office informed me that he kept no diary of his service during the war & that he made up his amount by the form of memory & committed it to paper on or about the time he made the application to the spit him in drawing a pension. That I now send to you. It carries evident marks that McGraw is no scholar & the interlineations & additions which appear in a different handwriting were made by myself upon interrogatories put to McGraw at the time  & after his declaration, It was the memoranda by which I was enabled to state his case. I am sorry to say that your letter seems to detest upon McGraw for being too specific & minute in detaching his several serving whatever of censure may be made on that account, is entirely attributable to myself. For informed here that unless he was enabled to mark a dear & definite statement her application would be refused. That I had been previously instructed from the war department & under your own signature in the application of Peter L. Quarkingboss, that specification was expected to a favorable fee. Your letter to me on the 3rd of October 1833 in
