Sir:

Application for the arrearage affirmed due to Robin Starr, deceased, did serve in the U.S. in the role of this agency, has been made by his Hon.

Under the former regulations etc. made necessary that the relationship of the claimant to the deceased pensioner should be proved before a Court of Record, in the present case the proof is made before the Court of Probate, which is perhaps not technically , strictly, a Court of Record, there is in point of fact and time reference to proceeds under the Act of June 1832 appears to be so regarded by the department.

I presume that the probate Court is as safe and competent a tribunal for settling the questions as any other Court in the State, still have deferred the payment to the applicant in this case until I could instruct the Subject -- I enclose the papers.

With high respect, I am

Hon A. Lewis Cass
