 the certificate was
re-enclosed & sent to me by P. Dickinson Esq Pension
Agent at Trenton, and I had supposed until the

that I could lay my hand upon it at any
moment,
Since that time, however I have made
careful and diligent search, but have hitherto
been unable to discover any trace of
its existence.
Aside from the delay & disappointment
occasioned by the loss to a worthy female in needy
circumstances, it has been a source of regret that
any lackes of mine, should give additional
trouble to your department.
If the verification
