he has lived within about 2 miles -
he is a Black smith by Trade he
worked for my Father & has worked
for me, he has been talking about
going to Washington himself for
several years but being quite
infirm at times, has not been, he is
verry poor & has been sick all the past
winter & was supported by a Daughter
who had nothing only what she
worked for, & I think it would be
an act of great charity, if consistent
with your better judgement, to favour
him with a pension which will
ever he considered a great favour -
I am not much acquainted with
applications, but in case there
should be any further information
wanted a letter addressed to me
