Dear Sir,
May I trouble you to present to the commissioner of pensions the enclosed affidavit so that Mrs 
Warfield may be placed on the pension list provided the testimony is sufficient. The papers were prepared under the impression that she would be enabled to draw her pension at once. but when taken to Baltimore we learned she was not on the list for 1848. Although the power of Atty & [illegible] do not belong here I thought perhaps they would be deemed more surplussage[illegible] & that the commissioner would issue her another certificate which (if it be done) I will thank you to forward to me by Saturdays mail this will serve a very old lady  & much oblige
