This declarant being first duly sworn saith, that the whole of the sum of three hundred & fifty dollars which he received for the sale of his negro boy, Anderson, has been expended in the payment of debts contracted for the support of himself, previously to the year 1823, and since that time, & that he has neither paid any part thereof for the debts of other persons, nor has he given any part away-

that the statement of Fanny Wilson respecting the land  is strictly true, & that he considers his services rendered him more than equal to the value of the land - that he has been, and still is willing, to make her a Deed. but is advised not to do so at this time as it might be posibly [possibly]  considered, he did so with a fraudulent intention as the Deed had never been made before he applied for a pension-

Sir
The papers enclosed herewith are again forwarded to you, and as the requirements of your last have been complied with as nearly as they possibly could, Wilson Lumpkin anxiously hopes his case is now ready for a favourable decision
Fanny Wilson's account may still be considered too general, but never having kept any memo of the articles furnished W. Lumpkin, she could only state that she had furnished him alternatively with a suit of yarn & cotton clothes, &c. and the prices charged are considered very reasonable here,
I can only add that Wilson Lumpkin's situation is very distressing at this time being afflicted with a sore leg in addition to his other infirmities -
Very respectfully
Your most obt servt
