(over)

I hereby certify that the aforesaid Sarah Walker is, to the best of my knowledge a credible witness; and that the cause of taking and exhibiting the aforesaid declaration at the present time and place, out of court, is that the said Sarah Walker, the declarant is, in my belief, from bodily infirmities unable to attend court without serious inconvenience and exposure of her health.

To the Honorable John C. Calhoun Secretary of War City of Washington.
To the care of the Hon. C. Blagden

To the Honorable, the Secretary of war. Honored Sir,
I perceive you saw fit to strike my name from the list of Pensioners, but were you as really and as thoroughly acquainted with my circumstances as I am, I doubt not you would have caused my name to be retained on the List in perfect consistency with the Act. My services in the revolutionary war commenced in the year 1776, and during the first six months I fared exceedingly hardly among the Indians and was out more or less every year during the war. I have been obliged to gain my subsistence merely by hard labor, and as that source now fails me, I am utterly at a stand what course to pursue. My broken, barren farm has been under a mortgage of $ 266,00 for more than twenty years, being still on interest, and am destitute of the means of redeeming it. In consequence of inability and bodily infirmity, I have, for two years past, been unable to carry on my farm. Being now called upon to settle the aforesaid mortgage in the decline of life, and being denied the means to do it by my labor, I must, of necessity, call for assistance. Were I in a capacity to discharge the aforesaid mortgage, to pay my other debts, and to gain a comfortable subsistence for myself and family, I should have acquiesced in your decision, and not have written this. But knowing the reverse to be the case, I consider myself in duty bound to plead for favor, but with perfect submission.

It has been said by people of judgment, that, in consequence of the fall of property, my Real and personal Estate was appraised by far too high. It has been thought that my personal Estate, in a special manner, would not sell for more than two thirds of the appraised value. Now, Sir, I appeal to your wisdom and integrity, and desire you would take into consideration my age, my infirmities, my embarrassments, and if your decision should be such as will debar me from my pension, I must apply for help from another quarter.
I am, Sir, yours with due respect, &c. Jesse Walker
New Ipswich N.H. Dec. 27, 1820.
We the undersigned, think the foregoing statement to be a just representation of the Circumstances of Jesse Walker and that he, in our humble opinion, is justly entitled to a pension from his Country, according to Act of Congress, considering his present embarrassments and former services.
New Ipswich, Dec. 27th, 1820.
