Sir, 
 I inclose the papers of Andrew Pebbles a very poor and needy Revolutionary Soldier - assigned the pension certificate No. 14,728 is inclosed, this is done in consequences of the [illegible] to state the number in the Declaration. The date instead of the number is stated, this happened in consequence of not seeing the number on the face of the certificate and not thinking to look on the back for it. It is hoped that this circumstance will not make it necessary to take the trouble to make declaration for the purpose of stating the number of the Certificate in the Declaration. 
Most Respectfully Your Most Obt Servt

P.S. There will be no occasion to humble yourself to and drop an answer to me - the usual mode of incoming the paper to the Clerk will be satisfactory.
