Hon Lewis Cass Secy War Sir.
I have made out & sent 2 sets of papers in the case of the application of Samuel Wakko. The first set was put on file & application denied - I refer to 1st set sent last winter. I have never learned any thing through I have written 3 times Mr Martin also - got a statement of the reasons why the Certificate had been withheld.
It was that there were rolls of the Mattapan State Troop of Mass - in the Office of C.M. Paine Secy State Boston - whose Certificate it was alleged was mislaid. I forward his Certificate - by which it will appear that Samuel Wakko is entitled to One Year five months and 12 days Service -
The Certificate assigned State Sam Wakko Name is born on Capt. Dexter's Roll 3 Mo 7 days - Also on an abstract 5 days - Then it seems that the rolls of the Captains under whom he served are not in the Office but that his Claims appear on an abstract of the rolls for 6 Mo four Mo also for 4 Mo Making = 1 year 5 mo & 12 days
It seems that we can now immediately put into possession of the Certificate it has been almost 3 years since first application.
Pray forward it as soon as possible also all your regulations touching pension drawing money &c
