Dear Sir, — I avail myself of your permission so kindly conceded at our last interview to transmit herewith the Petition of my Father as a claimant under the late act of Congress in favour of Revolutionary soldiers.
The kindness that permits me to thus intrude on your necessarily important time leaves me no room to request that you will condescend as soon as may be convenient to you to present it to the Secretary of the Treasury or other suitable authority connected with its legal process.
You will find that the requisitions of the law respecting the certificates have been regularly complied with, and that my father's claim is adequately authenticated.
I anticipate that through the respectability and influence of your agency, this claim will not be treated with neglect or indifference but be liquidated as soon as possible.
Unfeignedly grateful for your goodness in permitting me to draw so largely on your time and patience.
I remain yours much indebted.
