We the subscribers, practicing physicians of Baltimore  Do Hereby Certify, That after a careful examination in the case of Edward Kean who is now on the Pension Roll of the State of Maryland, we are of opinion that his disability does still continue being wounded in several places in the left arm, which has deprived him of the use of that member, in our opinion the disability cannot either in whole or in part ever be removed and further that the degree of disability under which he labors at present is Total being no less than the original degree of disability for which he was placed on the Pension Roll.

The Hon Geo E Mitchell, M.C.

Sir

The application on the part of Edw'd Kain contained in his letter addressed to yourself which you were pleased to communicate to this office on the 24th ult. is herewith returned to you - On inspecting the register of Mil Land Warrants issued on account of services in the revolutionary war of the U.S. it appears that a warrant of that class No 225 was issued 31 Jan 1806 in the name of Edward Kean of the Maryland Line & was delivered to John Archer. From the general tenor of E.K.'s letter to you it appears probably that the further compensation he has in view is of a peculiar nature which is not within the attributes of this office. I do not know any one who can give correct information on that business unless it be Peter Hagner Esq 3rd Auditor Treasury Department. The general opinion is that the law of the U.S. commonly called "the statute of limitations" puts all claims of that class to sleep forever.

Very resp
