Watertown Feby. 11th 1822
Sir herewith is enclosed the application
of Thomas Farr for a Pension his
papers have once been to the pension office
and returned as you will see by the enclosed
letter from Mr Edwards. it appears that
Judge Palmer (to say the least of it) did
his business very loosely but as you
are acquainted with the man you will
not wonder at it Mr. Edwards requires
that the Clerk should certify as to the time
Farr applied to Palmer; but it is impossible
that the Clerk should know anything about
it -   Palmer has made an affidavit
explaining the transaction; and the reasons
why Farr did not sooner procure his
evidence is that Palmer advised him to
wait until he got some return from
Washington which was some time first
he then had to go to New Hampshire for
his evidence and as he was very poor
it was not until some time after that
he would be sufficient funds to go
with    the objection to the affidavits of
the witnesses is done away by procesing new
affidavit
Truly yours
