[illeg.] Houston cy. (Geo) April 27, 1829.

Sir--  Enclosed I send you the military papers in the claim of Stansell Barbre, for his revolutionary services, I have, also, the management of the claim of Thomas Duffell, to which I desire to call your attention. These old revolutionary compatriots are now in the evening of life fast virging [verging] into another and I hope happier world; I wish I could add that they were pleasantly situated in these circumstances, the reverse of this, however, is the truth.  They are both in much need of the assistance now offered by their country.  I, as their attorney, hope that the proof in their claims, is amply sufficient to sustain their demands; if there should be any thing omitted, I will take it as a favor of you, to point out to me the defect.
Your fellow citizen,
Howell Cobb
