Dear Sir,
I enclose the writings
in regard to the transfer of
William Mitchel which I
trust will prove satisfactory.
I have been induced by [illegible]
to write you in behalf of Daniel
Gunn a Revolutionary Soldier
I am informed sometime in
the year 1832 a young man
took Gunn's Certificate with
an assurance to Mr Gunn that
he could get his pension increased
under the last act of Congress
in relation to Revolutionary Claims
In the spring of 1832 Mr Gunn
was taken sick-- he lingered until
the spring of 1833 & died having been
a great charge to his children
(who are extremely poor)- Mr
Gunn's Certificate now has been
[illegible] since delivered in to the
young man as before mentioned
& the young man has left this
Country. Mr Gunn I am informed had drawn
a pension for about 13 or 14 years
previous to his death & I have no
doubt but his name is in your affairs
- Will your Honor have the
goodness to inform me on this subject
& if his heirs can obtain his pension
from the last time [illegible] up to the time
of his death
Very Respectfully Yours
Hon L. Cass   C. S. Everts
