not now prepared to give an accurate account or a minute detail of.

Declaration in order to attain the benefit of the 3d section of the Act of Congress of the 4th July 1836.

Rhoda Warren a resident of the said County of Green and State aforesaid aged 85 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her Oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Provisions made by the act of Congress passed July 4th 1836, that she is the widow of William Warren who is now dead, who was a Private in the Revolutionary War, that she is now about 85 years of age, that she was born from the best information she can get about the year 1760 or 1761 in the county of [space] in the state of S. Carolina. That she was married to the said William Warren in the Summer of the year 1774 at about the age of 14 years, in the county of Greenville in the State of South Carolina and by said William Warren she had thirteen children the issue of their marriage, that her eldest child was born about eighteen months after her marriage a daughter who is now about 69 years old and the youngest one of her children is now about 39 or 40 years of age.

She was married to said Warren by a Baptist minister by the name of Webb, by what was called Publication of Banns in the Church. She does not know whether any records was ever produced of her said marriage. She has made enquiry & search for it but has been unable to find it & she supposes that no record was made of it or if it was she supposes it may have
Page 11

been destroyed from the Early period of her said marriage & the loose manner of keeping records & the difficulty of preserving them in the Revolution. She thinks it uncertain whether she can procure a copy of said records if any was even made of her said marriage. She has no Records of the Date that is of the particular month in which she was married nor any records of her age but has to rely upon her recollection of past events to determine them. She does keep an attempt to keep a record of the ages of her children but she cannot now find that, it is either lost or destroyed. She states that from her great age she is unable to give a detail of the services minutely and particularly of her said husband. Of the particular time he entered the Service of his Country or when he left it or how many engagements he was in or the particular names of all the officers in Command of the troops in which her husband served &c, she states that her husband said William Warren was in the service of his Country & was out on duty often after the marriage with said William to her. She is not able to detail the particular time he first entered the service, she states however that sd. William Warren to the best of her beliefs & recollection first entered the service in the county of Greenville South Carolina that sd. Warren had been & was engaged in his country's service at the time of her sd. marriage with him, he remained with her but a short time after her marriage before he sd. Warren  was called to go in the army to towards Charleston but she cannot recall the Captain of any other officers names. She recalls however that General Green after this took Command as she was informed & that said William Warren was out in service under said Green. She states that her said husband William
Page 12

applied for a pension for his said service and filed his proof declaration in the pension office at Washington City and that on the 15th day of ^July 1841 he said Warren had granted to him a certificate for his Pension at the rate of $66.66 per annum.

That she has never intermarried since the death of said William Warren but still continues his widow.

She refers to the proof  declaration ^as well as his former proof in this case^ of said William Warren now on file in the Pension Office at Washington City for a full history of his services in the Revolution.

That from age and great loss of memory he is unable to state with any degree of certaintly the dates of the three tours of service last above set forth, but his best recollection is that the 3 tours of service as named were rendered between the year 1778 and the year 1782, the dates of the other tours of service may not be correct, they are however stated to the best of his recollection, and with as much certainty as his memory will now enable him to speak.

On this 20th day of October 1834 personally appeared in Open court before the Justices of the Green County Court now sitting, William Warren a resident of the County and State aforesaid aged 73 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his Oath make the following declaration in order to attain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. That he entered the service of the United States in the District of 96 State of South Carolina; he does not recollect the date with certainty but he thinks it was in the latter part of the year 1776 or first of the year 1777; he entered the service as a substitute for his Father Hugh Warren under the command of Captain Jeremiah Doty who was under command of Col. Thomas, he marched against the Indians to Fort Seneca on the river Savannah a distance of 80 or 90 miles from his place of residence, and was there stationed at said Fort some weeks, he served as a substitute and as a private solder in the malitia[militia] under the officers aforesaid 6 weeks and was then verbally discharged and returned home. 

That a short time after the tour last named he thinks in the early part of the year 1777 he was drafted to remain in service 3 months if his services should be so long required, he served under Capt. Jeremiah Doty, William
Page 23

Waughford was Lieutenant and these officers were under command of Col. Thomas, he marched against the Indians into the State of Georgia near the Ocono [Oconto] River a distance of 150 miles or more from his residence. That he served 8 weeks to the best of his recollection, and his services being no longer required he was discharged by Col. Thomas and returned home, he does not recollect, however, that he had any written discharge, if he had it has long since been lost. 
That he was again called on to serve a tour against the Indians, he thinks in the year 1777, that he entered into service under Captain Doty who was commanded by Col. Thomas and marched onto the Indian line (as it was then called) in South Carolina and was there stationed, and after he had served 4 weeks he was verbally discharged and returned home. 
That in the year 1778, though of the date he cannot speak with certainty, he entered into service as a volunteer and private soldier in the malitia [militia] under the command of Captain Deanis Tramell who he thinks was commanded by Col. Roebuck, that during this year he kept himself in readiness and servied under the orders of Captain Tramell at all times when called upon, that he marched under the command of said Captain against the Tories and British a number of short
Page 24

tours, that all his service under Captain Tramell was rendered in the District of 96 on the waters of Dacklett and Saluda Rivers, sometimes marching through the Country lying near the Fort of 96, that he continued in service aforesaid under the Captain aforesaid he thinks at least 12 months, though during this 12 months he was not constantly in actual service, but served a number of short tours from time to time whenever called on by his captain; and owing to the nature of his service, being as it was in a number of short tours, and from loss of memory it is not now possible for him to tell how long he was in actual service under said captain, nor will his recollection now enable him to speak of the different tours and describe them separately, or in any other way more fully than he has done above. 
That he again volunteered and entered the service as a private soldier in the malitia [militia] under the command of Captain Jeremiah Dickson. Anthony Calter [Coulter] was Lieutenant of the company, and John Roebuck was the Colonel, he marched against the British and Tories through the Country between the Town of 96 and Savannah River, the British and Tories had the town then in possession, and the object of marching near the town was to draw the enemy from it, this could not however be effected, he served under the officers aforesaid during this tour to the best of
Page 25

his recollection 4 weeks, and was then discharged verbally and returned to his residence. 
That a short time after the tour last named he volunteered and entered the service as a private in the malitia [militia], his captain was Jeremiah Dickson under command of Col. Roebuck, he marched against the Tories and British through the country lying between his residence and the town of 96, during this tour he was in a short engagement with the enemy under the command of a Tory by the name of Cunningham, the engagement was short and no lives were lost. He served under the officers aforesaid during this tour 3 weeks and returned to his residence. 
That he was again drafted and entered into service under Captain Calter [Coulter] and Col. Roebuck who were under the command of Major John Ford, he marched under the officers aforementioned to reinforce Gen. Green who was then near Charleston with his army, that they joined Genl. Green's army a short distance from a fortification called a blockhouse, which was then in possession of the enemy, that the officers under whom he served were under the command of General Pickens and were stationed a short distance perhaps half a mile from General Green's encampment, his impression is that he was drafted this tour to serve 2 or 3 months but his service was not that long required and he served to the best of his recollection

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of April 4, in which you state you will accept the usual record furnished by this office in regard to Hugh Warren, S. 31453, Revolutionary War soldier, instead of photostatic copies of the frail papers. You kind consideration is very much appreciated. The papers in that soldier's claim for pension have been examined carefully for you, and the data found are given below. The reocrd of Willaim Warren, W. 3056, is furnished you also, because of the additional family data shown in his claim which is not shown in the claim of Hugh. 

HUGH WARREN_S.31453

Hugh Warren was born Janury 5, 1764 in Virginia, the county not given, and moved with his parent, when quite young, to South Carolina; the names of his parents are not stated. At the time he served in the war he resided about twelve miles from Wofford's Iron Works within less than a mile of the Pacolet River in Ninety-Six District, South Carolina. 
Hugh Warren volunteered about June, 1779, and served at various times until the close of the Revolutionary War, amounting in all to more than two years, as a private under Captins Deanis Tramell, Jeremiah Dickson (or Dixon), Anthony Coulter, John Lawson and Parsons, and Colonel John Roebuck in the South Carolina troops, against the Indians and Tories, and in several engagements with them, assisted in destroying Indian towns, and was in the battle of Cowpens. 
There is a South Carolina State report in this claim which shows that Hugh Warren, Sr., and Hugh Warren, Jr., rendered service in the South
Page 28

Carolina troops during the same period, on horse back from February 1, 1783 to July 15, 1783, as certified by Captain Parsons. 
The soldier resided in South Carolina until about 1800, then moved to Kentucky. 
Hugh Warren was allowed pension on his application executed June 16, 1834, at which time he resided in Green County, Kentucky. He resided in that same county in 1845. 
No reference is made to wife or children in the papers on file in this claim. 
It was stated that William Warren enlisted with Hugh Warren and served in the South Carolina troops on tours during the Revolutionary War; said William was referred to as of Green County, Kentucky, in 1840. In 1845, James Warren, aged ninety-six years and a resident of said Green County, stated that he served also from South Carolina in the Revolution. No relationship of these other Warrens to the soldier, Hugh Warren, is stated in the papers in this claim. 
*************
WILLAIM WARREN_W.3056
William Warren, son of Hugh Warren, was born in October 1761, in Virginia, the county not given, and moved when a small boy to South Carolina; he was the brother of Hugh Warren. 
While a resident of Ninety-Six District, South Carolina, William Warren volunteered sometime in 1776, and served at various times until 1782, amounting in all to almost two years, as private under Captains Jeremiah Doty, Deanis Tramell, Jeremiah Dickson, and Coulter, and Colonels Thomas and John Roebuck in the South Carolina troops; he was on expeditions against the Indians on the Savannah River, and in engagements with the Tories in South Carolina. His first service in 1776, was rendered as substitute for his father, Hugh Warren. 
The soldier moved about 1796 from South Carolina to Kentucky.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Hugh Warren, a soldier of the Revolutionary who was pensioned while residing in Green County, Kentucky.
The record of Hugh Warren is given below. The data furnished are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 31453, based
upon his military service in the Revolutionary War. The record of William Warren, W. 3056, is furnished you also, because of additional family data which is shown in his claim.

HUGH WARREN-

Hugh Warren was born January 5, 1764 in Virginia, the county not given, and moved with his parents, when quite young, to South Carolina; the names of his parents are not stated. At the time he served in the war, he resided about twelve miles from Wofford's Iron Works
within less than a mile of the Pacolet River in Ninety-Six District, South Carolina.
Hugh Warren volunteered about June, 1779, and served at various times until the close of the Revolutionary War, amounting in all to more than two years, as a private under Captains Deanis Tremell, Jeremiah
Dickson (or Dixon), Anthony Coulter, John Larson and Parsons, and Colonel John Roebuck in the South Carolina troops, against the Indians and Tories,
in several engagements with them, assisted in destroying Indian towns, and was in the battle of Cowpens.
There is a South Carolina State report in this claim which shows that Hugh Warren, Sr., and Hugh Warren, Jr., rendered service in the South Carolina troops during the same period, on horse back from February 1, 1782

No reference is made to wife or children in the papers on file in this claim.
It was stated that William Warren enlisted with Hugh Warren and served in the South Carolina troops on tours during the Revolutionary War; said William was referred to as of Green  County, Kentucky, in 1840. In 1845, James Warren, aged ninety-six years and a resident of

WILLIAM WARREN-
William Warren, son of Hugh Warren, was born in October 1781, in Virginia, the county not given, and moved when a small boy to South Carolina; he was the brother of Hugh Warren,
While a resident of Ninety-Six District, South Carolina, William Warren volunteered sometime in 1776, and served at various times until 1782, amounting in all to almost two years, as private under Captains Jeremiah Doty, Dennis Trumell, Jeremiah Dickson, and Coulter, and Colonels Thomas and John Roebuck in the South Carolina troops; he was on expeditions
against the Indians on the Savannah River, and in engagements with the Tories in South Carolina. His first service in 1776, was rendered as substitute for his father, Hugh Warren.

To the honorable Commissioner of Pensions
of the United State
Sir
 I here send you the
Proof offered by Rhoda Warren the widow of
William Warren Decd. to Enable her to draw
the arrears of Pension due to her late husband
William Warren Showing the reason why it
was that sd. William Warren delayed in drawing
his pension sooner & why his Widow delayed
in not applying before she did, and also
showing the time of the death of sd. Warren.
I have been notified by Mr. J H Rhorer
Louisville to whom I sent the first papers
with the certificate of Warren, that it was
necessary (as you have informed him) for
Rhoda Warren to Explain the case of
delay & Warren applied for his pension in 1833
or 4 & Was trying about that time to get her
pension. I have now before me a letter from the Hon
J. L. Edward Dated 13th March 1835, in which he
says "In answer to your letter of the 28th [illegible]
"I have to inform you that a letter was written to
you on the 14th [illegible] in the case of William
Warren which you have in all probability 
recd. before this" addresses to Mr. A Harding at
this place in the case of Warren was suspended but
he again renewed his application & on the 15th
July 1841 succeeded in obtaining his certificate but
dies the May following without drawing his money
for the reasons set forth in the foregoing proof.
If this proof is satisfactory please forward on to
Mr Rhorer at Louisville the necessary direction &
authority for Mrs Warren to draw the arrears.
I have the honor to be very Respecfuly
yours

On this 14th day of January 1846 personally
appeared before the undersigned a Justice of
the Peace in and for the County aforesaid
Rhoda Warren, who being duly sworn
according to Law doth on her oath make
the following statement in order to draw
the arrears of Pension due to her late husband 
William Warren Decd. who was a
Revolutionary soldier and Pensioner.
That she is the widow and relict of said William
Warren now decd. that she intermarried with
said William Warren many years ago.
the particular year she cannot now recollect
but she thinks about 18 months
before the battle of the Cowpens. She was
at the time of her marriage a resident of the
County of Greenville South Carolina that
she removed to the County of Green in the
State of Kentucky, about 49 years ago with
her said husband where she lives & with
whom she lived as the wife of said Warren
untill his death, that said William Warren
died in the said County of Green on the 10th day
of May 1842 leaving her the said Rhoda his
widow, that she has never intermarried since
the death of said William Warren but still
continues his widow. That her said husband
William Warren, in his lifetime [illegible] about the
year 1833 or 1834 made application to the War
Department for a Pension, as a Revolutionary
Soldier, & for some years about that time
was arguing his claim therefore, but for some
cause or other he failed to draw any thing
as evidence of his said application. She refers
Page 43

(6 )
to the Declaration and proof filed now in
War Department at Washington by said
Warren, that after this and about the year
1839 or 1840 the said Warren again renewed
his application, through the Hon Willis Green
then a member of Congress and upon a
reconsideration of the case with some additional 
proof (as she is informed) a Certificate
for a pension was on the 15th day of
July 1841 granted to him the said Warren
authorizing him to draw the sum of $66.66
per ann. from the 4th March 1831 that this
certificate was delivered to the said Green
and was kept by him and in his possession
untill after the death of said Warren, & was
never delivered to her to draw her said
Pension untill some time in the fall of the
year 1845 for what reason or cause said
Green held  said Certificate or why he
failed to deliver it over she is not informed 
she suppose however that said
Green from the multiplicity of business
in Congress and in Electioneering for Congress
he forgot it, said Warren dies 10 months
or thereabout, only after said Certificate was
granted him, and that she said Rhoda 
as soon as she received said proceeded 
with her application to draw the
arrears of Pension due her in right of
her said husband. That from age and bodily
infirmity she is unable to attend Court for the
purpose of making this her declaration in
Court.

Hon J L Edwards Dear Sir
I some time ago sent on
to the War Department a pension office the claim of
William Warren's Widdow [widow] Rhoda Warren to have it
acted in a Disposed of William Warren lived & Decd. in
this County (Green). After he had obtained his certificate
authoring [authorizing] him to draw his pension he died without
having draw his Pension or any part of it. His
Widow Rhoda then applied to draw the arrears which
he was entitled to & for that purpose proves the death
of Wm Warren & that she was his widow & on the
County Court here some explanation herein appears
to have been necessary to explain why William Warren
never applied soon & Why his Widow had not
all of which was done & the papers sent in some
month or two ago to the Department, please write
her what is the situation of her case & what
action if any has been had on it & much
oblige.

To the Commissioner of

Sir
I some time since
forwarded on to Mr J H Rhorer of Louisville
Ky. the Claim of Hugh Warren's Widow
of William Warren's Widow, Rhoda for
the purpose of drawing their Pensions
and to which he informs me that it
is necessary to give the reason why
William Warren delayed for 11 years in
making his application to the Department
& why he delayed after he attained his Certificate 
10 months in drawing & why his widow
delayed for 3 years after his death in Making
her application. In regard to Warrens
failure to apply for 11 years this is a 
mistake he made his application to the
Department in 1834. I think at, any rate
in 1835 the 13th March ^the Commr. of Pensions^  wrote a letter to
A. Harding of this place informing him
that on the 14 of the preceding month
the Department had considered of his claim
which was that owing to Capt Tramell -
(under whom, Warren served) being a Tory
his claim was rejected. After this Mr Green
our member of Congress took his case in
hand & obtained a reconsideration of his
case & with some additional proof obtained
his certificate on the 15th July 1841 & Mr.
Green retained this certificate in his possession 
having forgotten it I suppose
which engaged in electioneering & in Congress
Page 78

^and never^ handed it over to Warren while he lived
nor untill some time in the last year. the
the reason Warren never draw his
Money.
Warren died on the 10th May 1842.
While Green was in Congress at least
while a member and he fails to hand
over the Certificate, these are the facts
in regard to the delay of said  Mr. 
Warren & his wife.
I shall proceed however as your
letter of directions to sd. Rhoda requires 
to take the [illegible] proof of the
facts deposed.  & as also the Identity of
Warren & his wife if missing. 
By reference to the files in the
Pension office you will see the
case of William Warren when he
made his application &
I thought I would suggest, those
in regard to this claim to throw as much
light on it as I could & to avoid
if it could be dispensed with any
further proof.
Very Respectfully

Sir
On the 31st of July last or about
that time I forward on to the Pension office
at Washington to you the Declaration of Rhoda
Warren of this Co. Wife ^& widow^ of William Warren Decd.
William Warren was allowed a Pension, but he never
drew any thing in his lifetime he died the 10th
May 1842 and his widow sd.  Rhoda drew
his arrears up to the day of his death.
She then files her declaration & Petition for
the purpose of attaining her pension for life
& drawing on from the time of the death of
sd. William at the same date which was $66.66
pr. ann. This declaration of hers is the one
that I last forwarded as above. Will you
please inform me what action has been 
had in her case or what is yet wanting
to authorize her to draw.
She made several applications & sent
on her proof once or twice before drew the
arrears of her husband & I thought it possible
in the hurry or press of business you may
have without examing[examining] closely have concluded
that the proof last sent was for that purpose
of drawing the arrears of her husband but
it was for the purpose of being placed upon

On this 17th day of March 1847 personally appeared before the undersigned a Justice of the Peace in and for said County Rhoda Warren a resident of said County and being duly sworn according to Law doth on her oath make the following declaration in addition
and as Supplemental & Explanatory of her former statements, heretofore made in her application to the Commissioner of Pensions to obtain her Pension in Justice of the services of her late husband William Warren now dead. She states that she is now far advanced
in life being at this time as she verily believes in the 84 or 85th year of her age as well
as she can now recollect. She can neither read or write and never could & it has been by her memory merely that she has kept the dates of former events in her mind. She states that she was of opinion & was so advised and believes from the recollection of her Brother in Law James Warren that she married with her husband William Warren in the year 1774 in this date however she presented she must be mistaken. She as well as her husband
were both very young when they married. She states that she recollects one circumstance that took place that will fix the date of her marriage if she is (as she supposes) mistaken in the date heretofore stated. She recollected that at the time of this Battle of the Cowpens she was then with child  x17 Jany 81 of her first child & about to lay in with it & this child (her oldest) was born about 18 months after her marriage with William Warren. This fact she distinctly recollects, in counting up the time of her age when married & the ages of her
children had by sd William Warren. She was of opined  that she was married about 1774. She
states as in her former declaration that she is
the surviving widow of William Warren dec'd & was married to said Warren in Greenville County South Carolina about 18 months before the Battle of the Cowpens at that time be when it will. She continues the wife of sd Warren from that date till the day of the death of said Warren which took place the 10th May 1842 in Green County
Page 83

Kentucky. That she is still the widow of said Warren having never intermarried since his death, that by said Warren she had 13 children [illegible] Polly, Hugh, Elizabeth, Sally, Hardin, Andrew, Frederick, William, Nancy, Rhoda, John, Dodson, & Silas, the eldest of whom is now sixty seven years old or thereabout & the youngest near 40 years of age. She states that she lived with her husband sd Warren in Green County Kentucky about 50 years. She thinks,
She has as yet been unable to procure the Record of her marriage with sd Warren indeed she does not know whether in that day any Record was kept of such things, but she most solemnly states that she was married to said William Warren & to the identical William Warren to whom a pension certificate was granted, hearing date the 15th July 1842. (No 31. 862. as she is informed) granting to
William a Pension of $66.66 per annum & the same identical William Warren who died in Green County Ky on the 10th May 1842. She states that her said husband was the only William Warren who ever had a pension granted him who lived in said Green County Ky.

To the Hon J L Edwards Esq. Comr. of Pensions
Dear Sir
In looking over
the acts of the late Congress I find that it to some
extent dispenses with a portion of the proof that
was heretofore required of a widow to authorize her to draw
a Pension. I respectfully call your attention to this matter
as it may be applicable to the case of Rhoda
Warren[name underlined] of Green Co Ky widow of William Warren
See the act No 11. approved 7th May 1846 2d. Sect.
In Mrs. Warrens Case I have obtained & sent on to
you proof showing the length of time sd. Rhoda &
William Warren lived together as man & wife the no.
of children & their ages the proof goes back as
far as 1774, the year he was married - William
Warren, the husband of Rhoda died in this County
on the 10th of May 1842, he filed his proof &
attained his certificate allowing him $66.66/00 per ann.
on the 15th July 1841. I respectfully call your attention
to this act as it may be applicable to her case.
I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully

To the Hon. J.L. Edwards Esqr. Coms of Pensions
Dear Sir
I beg your inclosing
me the Declaration of Rhoda Warren with instructions
for I have proceeded under the directions as far as
practicable. Mrs Warren is an old Lady & unable
to attend Court & so States in her Declaration the
Magistrate also certifies the same. The Declaration
is made before a Justice of the peace who is one of the
Judges of the County Court for the County
& is so certified by the Clerk. The marriage is not
proven by any Records but the facts conducing to
those that the said Rhoda & William Warren
were married I think is conclusive the affidavit 
of Despain & Skaggs & wife which said so
heretofore sent I now send again along with 
those I have recently taken.
I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully

To the hon J. L. Edwards Coms. of Pensions
Dr Sir I here inclose you some additional Proof in the Case of Rhoda Warren the widow of William Warren Decd, who died in this County which Proof she presents in Connection with that heretofore sent. She can only prove the time of her marriage by circumstances. She has been unable to procure any Records of her marriage indeed I suppose from what I can learn that there is no Record of it I have written on several Occasions to the Clerk of Greenville Co. S. Carolina on the subject & can get no information from that place -
I think the facts prove so strongly to show that she was married at an early day & altho[although] she was mistaken in the time being 1774 still I think the proof tends very strongly to show that from the ages of her children by sd. Warren she must have been married between 1775 + 1780 =

Greensburg Ky. June 24th 1847
To the Hon J. L. Edwards Coms. of Pensions
Dear Sir. In conformity with your letter of the 20th May last I had the dispositions [2 illegible words] the Certificate of the Justice amended & Certifying the Credibility of the witness, George Elmore & Jeremiah Etherton [illegible] & have also at the request of Mrs. Warren I prepared her Declaration under the act of Congress of the 3 March 1843. & have asserted her claim under that act. I did not think that in this latter case it was necessary to have the Declaration & Proceedings presented in Court as the only matter really in the latter Declaration is the fact that she claims under the act of the 3d. March 1843. instead of that of the 4th July 1836 which you suggested to me in your letter of the date above. But I have taken a duplicate of that Declaration [2 illegible words] two of the same kind & will keep the one + have the matter presented in Court & approved of if necessary - I here inclose you the amended depositions & the Declaration of Mrs. Warren asserting her right under the law of the 3d. March 1843. as above mentioned . Our County Court does not meet for a month yet & I thought I would forward these papers on & if it ever was necessary that this latter Declaration should be submitted to a Court of Record to obtain its sanction it will not delay the Case any more as Mrs Warrens declaration which as the Duplicate of which I can at the next County Court State have authenticated & forwarded; but I suppose the last Declaration will answer. of it will please forward the Certificate - I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully
