Received from the war department for
Michael Engle a Warrant certifying the fact of his
being placed on the pension Role of the United States unan
the act of June 7th 1832. I also Recd the Original papers
sent to the department for Joseph Convin, John H. Fisher
and Henry Weller with certain objections appended thereto
which objections I have endeavoured to obviate so as to
be satisfactory to the Department I presume, and I now
Enclose them again for approval. I find by the Endorsem
ent on Mr Engle Warrant his payments are to be made
at the Trentore Bank as the agent for paying Pensioners in
the agency of New Jersey, I would propose that if any
arrangement could be made without contravening
the
Little Rules and regulations of the Department, and for
the convenence of the few perceiving worthies of the Revolution
who reside in the northen part of it. In that an agency be
Established with the State Bank at Morris for paying Pensions
It would greatly promote the convenence of Mary pensioner
who are located from 500 to 80 miles from Trenture; and whose
age, Infirmity and Consequent loss of mental faculties
Renous it absolutely necessary that they employ a Special
agent to transact their business connectice with their pensions
and to go to Trenton and Draw their money semi - annually
of such an agency could be established either at Morris Town
or in New York It would be a great convenience and a saving
of Personal interest to the Pensioners of North and Eastern
N.J. and so far as I am acquainted with them they are all
