In this last explanation he has only put down such particulars as were omitted in the first so that the whole will have to be taken together to make out July his services-he has also obtained proof of services which he did not know of until lately,

Sir:

Pension under the Act of Feb 3, 1853 for Melinda Durkee, Cynthia Cheeks, and Elizabeth Glover all residents of Georgia were allowed and the certificate entrusted to my care, this same being founded by me to the agents of the parties. 

Each widow having named after the year 1800, was entitled of course to a pension only from the date of the [illegible] of the said Act.

I am this day [illegible] advised that an agent has been to each of the widows and told them that "no office has not paid them the full annuity"; and that 'if they will pay him, he will get their pension from this date of the death pf their husbands instead of from the date of the [illegible] Act only.

I am of course fully aware that they have no such claim; but for Ms. [illegible] of guarding their widows from imposition I have taken the liberty of addressing a letter to you in each case, so that I can forward your answer to the parties

Hoping that under the circumstances my request will not be deemed unreasonable.
