Dear Sir:
I have herewith transmitted Southard's Pension
to you again.  I took them the third time to the
Branch Bank of New York and they refused
to pay-- on the ground that it was payable at the Pennsylvania agency- the transfer not being made until 1834 & the amt. Claimed (viz: $48.) to be due is in 1833, as you will see by our letter herewith Enclosed-- they also showed me your letter directing to pay on our presenting the proper papers & they say that
these papers are not together with your order to warrant payment by them on acct. of the discrepancy in dates in the transfer & the time this amt. is claimed as due and that it ought to be paid by the Pennsylvania agency.
He has extended half the amt. in trying to get it & it is hard for him to handle it.  If you can arrange so that he can get it with out much more Expense it would be an act of justice to him -  together with these papers & an order in New York or Albany I could obtain the money-- I will try once more
