You will perceive (if you examine them) that he has been a regular pensioner, but by misfortune has lost his certificate, and been deprived of the money to which he was legally entitled, for some time; & by that means, and by sickness, & by decrepitude of old age, is reduced almost to beggary. Your attention to procure a new certificate will greatly relieve a poor distressed family, and in case it is procured, you shall be handsomely rewarded, & if not I will
