The within application of Squire Wood was delivered to me by the Hon. John Moss one of the Judges of the Court of Commons Pleas of the County of Washington in the State of New York, and it appears is one of those cases where the applicant was too infirm to appear in court.  I am not acquainted with this applicant, but with the clergyman and others of his neighbor who certify to his good character I am well acquainted and I should have full confidence on their statements.

Feby 28 1833 This application of Squire Wood for a pension was returned to him for correction.  The only incorrectness was the omission of the Magistrate to certify to the credibility of the deposing witness- their credibility is now certified and I hope and trust that the applicant will receive his pension certificate.

the certificate of the Magistrate as directed and now
I transmit the same as certified by them,  which you

that needs assistance he is one. I could prove if necessary.

strictly virtuous and would not hesitate to say his
