Your petitioner most respectfully beg leave to represent for your consideration the names and circumstances situation of Mr. Charles Allen, who's early part of his life have been spent in the service of his country as a soldier. Mr. Allen is our neighbor, with whom we are well acquainted, he is very por and old, unable to cultivate the ground to support himself and wife and these two persons compose the family of Mr. Allen, who is both honest and respectable.

Wither from pray that it may be in your power to bestow the paltry sum of $98.00 per year as on said Allen to procue him the necessary comforts for declining age, thereby preventing an old soldier from going down to the grave. Your petitionary in bound well with prayer.
