Sir,
Herewith enclosed you will receive my two declarations together with the appended Certificates which I hope will be found sufficient to sustain the requisite of the Act of Congress, of the 15th May 1828.
The application might have been made at a prior date, but for the supposition of the fact of your department being [illegible] with numerous applications of the hand: I might further add, that my necessities did not demand a speedy adjustment of the claim.
I have the honor to be
Your Hml. Obt. Servt.

I also enclose two papers, which has a reference to my amt. with the U. States settled and unsettled.
