J. Barbow  Esq
Secretary of War

Sir, 
        Holladay Ingraham, a revolutionary pensioner in this town, whose pension certificate we hold as security for a cash and necessities advanced him, has lately abandoned from this place.
          We had advanced him about $90 on this Security, and have learnt within a few days that it was his intention to cheat us out of the sum and procure a new certificate by swearing that the original was withheld from him.
           From the circumstances of his attempting once before to procure a new certificate, and from the circumstance connected with his running away  (committing theft) we have no doubt but he will go to all lengths to succeed in this second attempt.
           We understand that the rules of your department are such, that persons in our situation have an opportunity to defend any charge of this kind, and we only ask for sufficient
Page 17

time to prove what we have above stated. 
          We have addressed the agent at New York on the subject, but finding that would be insufficient, we have taken the liberty to trouble you with this communication.

And remain
Very respectfully 
Yours,

Wm Randall
