Your early attention is respectfully asked to the consideration of the following matter.
The certificate for Increas of pension issued to the Children of Thos Ligget the 2d of July last has been sent me by their Attorney (L M Drury) for to attend to the drawing of the claim for the heirs - one of the children whose name occurs in said certificate to with James Ligget died about 12 months ago, and the Pension Agent here, Wm J Howard Esq objects to paying of this share to the other surviving heirs without instructions from you, in what manner he shall pay it - a part of said claim has been paid & we now await further instructions from you - and ask that Mr Howard be instructed to pay the share of said claim in a voucher executed by the administrator of the said James Ligget.
If we are not mistaken Mr Drury said this matter before you sometime ago but we cant learn that any instructions have been issued to Mr Howard in refference thereto.

I John H Redick Esquire a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in and for Beaver County in the State of Pennsylvania do Certify that it appears to my satisfaction that the within named Thomas Legget did serve in the manner within declared in the Revolutionary War, not only from the Declaration which he has made but also because I myself saw a pattent in his hand some years ago in which one hundred acres of Military Land was granted to him which he proposed to sell, that he wanted to pay some debt, which he was unable to do untill he could sell.
And I do further certify that I have been nearly ten years acquainted with the said Thomas Legget. That he is a very simple man, hardly Intelligent, reputed to be honest but verry poor. His simplicity may account why he has not been able in his declaration to be more satisfactory.
And I now transmit the proceedings and Testimony taken and had before me to the Secretary for the Department of War pursuant to the within mentioned Act of Congress
