Hon. J.L. Edwards,
Sir I enclose you the papers & instruction to the pension of Noah Miller, a Pensioner late of Dearborn County dec'd.

The heirs claiming arrears of pension from his last drawn in his lifetime up to the time of his death, which you will see by the papers Cornelius Miller, an heir and attorney for some others of the heirs writes me that he had applied to the Pension Agent at Madison Indiana " the agent did to pay him , but put him off by saying that he must send his papers to the War office, and that he secretary of War would order him to pay what was due".  It appears from his statement to me that he payment is delayed or postponed for your brain or opinion.

I assume as soon as you see the papers you will see what is wrong and that you will by letter to me, without delay make such order to give such information as to enable the applicant to have right and further draw them.

I have the honor to be your most Humble Svt.
Thomas Smith
