Sir
Philip Haines of Adams County Ohio from two to four years since drew some pension money which was coming to the widow Haines on account of the serving of my grandfather John Haines as a private in the Revolutionary war - She died in Adams County Ohio I think in the year A. D 1854.  My father John Haines was the Eldest son of John Haines the soldier and Philip Haines was a Brother of his.  We suppose that he drew a large sum of money as my grandfather was three years in the service - My father is now dead he died on 23 Oct 1854.  I have written three times to Philip Haines to ascertain how much money he got but he refuses to answer - Will you do me the favor to inform me how much money was drawn by Philip Haines and at what time
           Very respectfully
