Sir
Annexed are the affidavit of Cornelius Longedyck, Wilhelmus Emrick, and Solomon Schutt to confirm the statement made by Peter J. Winne
in his original declaration, which has been suspended for three or four years past
The above named persons are very reputable persons and feel confident that neither of them would willfully State more than what they believed to be correct and if it would afford any satisfaction to the department their reputations can be sustained by the most credible source.
[lined out "your therefore"] It appears by your past communications that his name is found on the roll for Nine months and if you should alter the above statement it would still allow him a small balance as he is old and infirm it is not probable that he will want it a great while his station life is different from what it was a few years since. when he has a reputable farmer, but is

Dear Sir
I have delayed answering your letter dated the 27 day of May last untill now and am pleased to say that every request contained in ^my^ letter of a previous date was strictly complyed (sic) with except that part which is applicable to the case Peter J. Winne which is not altogether satisfactory you seem to be impressed with an idea that he is only entitled to $30 instead of $80 I have again examined him as to his Seven and he still insists the Services stated in his original declaration are mainly correct
You will please therefore let me know what part of his services are objected to as he informed me that he was ready at any time to prove the Majority of his services if not all as he stated them to be in said declaration
The names he mentioned are some of the most respectable and inteligent (sic) of our County of that age 
You will therefore please answer the above request and give him an opportunity to fortify his declaration and if he fails to do that let him suffer the consequence of his defeat or enjoy the benefit of it according to his deserts
He is old and infirm and it is not probable that he will exist long he is therefore anxious to be restored to what he believes he ^is^ honestly entitled to, and finally he is tired of his present state of Suspense

I am very respectfully your most Obedient Servant
