Hon Sir I herewith return the Pension Declarations of Ann Peck, Hannah Brock, Cynthia Hulet, Sarah
Sanderson, Sybil Leet, Eunice Tucker, Elizabeth Manly, Abigail
Wakefield, Deborah Wakelee & Hephzibah Pollard which were
sent back to me for correction with an additional Certificate
to meet the requisition & comply with the regulations adopted
increases The first declaration which I drew under the
Act of March 3 1843 was in haste & from form which was early
sent me which form I soon lost, mislaid or carelessly left somewhere 
whether it contained the same directions which accompany 
the form which you have transmitted to me I cannot now
say I examined it but hastily & copied only the form which was
so sent to me but I presume it did & it was only from my own
inadvertence, that I did not heed them at the time-- having
mislaid or lost the [illegible] & I [illegible] the others from the one I had so
previously by [illrgiblr], & my own recollection 
 & I afterwards received
another form which I now find on examination contains the 
same directions, but I was careless & did not notice them as sought
I also forward herewith the Declaration of Polly Prindle for
the same pension. She was out of the State at the time the others
were sent in, & has but lately returned-
As to the Declaration of Mary Blair, I have had it taken in part
a name or rather with some alterations in the form which I
herewith return on account of the Certificate & seal of the County
Clerk which is annexed, & who now resides in the other end of the County
& cannot conveniently be applied to, to authenticate another one, & also
the Declaration of Eunice Tucker, taken before the same Just.
As to the Declaration of Sarah Warner which is disallowed on
the ground that she had not received a Pension under the law of
July 7. 1838. I had examined the law of March 3d 1843. & perceived
that the Pension (of one year) granted by that act, was extended not
only to those who had received but also to those who ever entitled to 
an annuity or Pension office years, under the law of 1838. I considered
Page 18

therefore that it would embrace the case of Mr Warner
I have not returned her Declaration, but presume that hereafter
a different construction, than has been should be given to the law
& such as will embrace her I shall be apprized of it for her benefit
Against the case of Mr Blain Asher Declaration stated
that her former residence was in the State of Massachusetts I supposed, 
that it would be sufficiently implied & understood that
her former pension was granted, whilst she so resided there, & that
it would be found inscribed on the Rolls of that State.
I perceive that the Declaration of Mrs Anna Norton for the same,
[illegible] pension, & sent on at the same time with the above ( as well
as two or three others afterwards sent on) is not returned All of
which I presume were taken in the same manner & be able to the same
objections as then which have been returned. & if their return can be
dispensed with, I should be very much pleased, as it would save time
& much trouble & probably some expense & in each of those cases, I have
that the additional Certificate can be given without hesitation
The Declaration of Mr Norton for the year, Pension, was I believe
on the same sheet of paper with her Declaration for the arrears of the
five years pension due the Certificate for which she has received

& other vouchers, for a Warrant of Bounty land to the heirs of Zalmon
Prindle decd to which he became entitled, for his services during the
revly war I have taken the Power of Atty from but one of the heirs (the
eldest, the others assenting) as I understood, in reference to another case,
whilst I was at Washington, that it would be sufft, in an application
for a warrant, & besides, (as will be perceived) one of the heirs, who is a
married woman, residing at a considerable distance from the others
in the western part of the State of New York, has been applied to the Deed
or power of Atty for her share, which has been a long time since expected, but for
some reasons unknown, has failed-- & as by further delay, some one of the children
might die, which would under the application more difficult
& without a Deed or Power of Atty from the whole the application of one
in behalf of the rest, would be as good as of a greater number & attended with
less trouble & expense. I have therefore concluded to adopt the course
presented-
