Dear Sir and Comrade: --


I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your communication
of the 5th inst in which you give me the histories of two Revolutionary
soldiers of the name of Morgan Young who served in the Revolution
from Morris County, New Jersey for which favor I thank you.
I am inclined to think that there was but one Morgan Young in the Revolution
from this county, and in order to assist me in arriving at a conclusion
in the matter I would like you, if it will not be requesting too
much, to send me tracings of the signatures of both these soldiers, as I
suppose they appear on their applications for a pension, or elsewhere, so
I may compare the two signatures.
Thanking you for a reply, I am
Young very respectfully,
Andrew M. Sherman

If there is any fee required for this additional service let me know and
I will remit the amount.
I have
Young's
be that
data co
the reof

just learned that George Newman Young, a son of one of the Morgan
who was a pensioner from Ohio, served in the War of 1812, and it may
from his record as it may appear in your office I may obtain some
concerning the Morgan Young I am after "Will you, therefore, give me
cord of said George N. Young as it may appear in your office.
I went to Record Dir myself and searched there was
no old War nor service pension Inv. or wid for Geo. Newman Young
and I drew several Geo. Young cases especially
those with middle initials but could not prove
anything at all

To the Com of Pensions

Sir
   By last mail I received a communication from the Pension Agent at Pittsburgh with a new certificate for Morgan Young entitling him to $53.88 in lieu of one for $73.88 and which was sent to transfer his claim to Indiana.
 M Young expected to have received a draft for one year's pay but is now informed that he is over paid.
   I have seen him and endeavored to learn from him the cause that may have led to the reduction in his pension but in making the inquiry of mine I have now ind--ed or think that there is a mistake in the department relative to his case he informed me that he served with the army of the Revolution one year and about seven months he can not exactly recollect but is confident that it was 18 months - which would....
Page 29

(continued from previous page)

....entitle him to the amount of his former certificates. He is one of the most worthy of that band of Patriots who achieved our independence and is now informed and his only means of support the humble pittance allowed him by a grateful people through his representations in congress.
   And what makes his case of a particular character is that he has obtained some assistance from individuals upon the faith of his certificate by which he was entitled to $110.82 on the fourth - just now he is unable to pay ands nothing to receive
   I therefore hope you will give your immediate attention (added here between lines) and inquiry into) to his case and if it is found that he is entitled to pay as usual you will instruct  the (smudged word) agent accordingly and immediately inform me of the result of your examination. And that no delay may take place I have inclosed......
Page 30

(continued from previous page)

...his new certificate that if a mistake exists you can correct it and send him such as he is justly entitled to otherwise you can return the same but I put confidence you will discern an error.

With much Respect
I remain your Obedient and humble Servant

   I made out the papers for Morgan Young a few days ago for to effect a transfer of his Pension payment to Indiana.  Which papers have been sent on to Pittsburgh at the time of making the application for transfer he was requested to state the names of one of the captains and one of the Colonels under whom he served which he was not able to state his memory having failed so much, but since he informed me that he recollected the name of one of one of his Colonels to be "Dayton" this I hope may be satisfactory.
