Sir
I desire to know whether Rob. Brown of Strasburg 
in this state has received any pension money for Jacob Fox,
now deceased, but late a revolutionary pensioner. If any
thing was due paid [illegible] at the time of his death be good
enough to inform me how much,
I [illegible] desire to know how
much, if anything, was due John Scott at his death, late
a pensioner for service in the war of 1812.

I remain
Very Respectfully,
