I have the Honor to transmit to you the Applications of Dr. George Fairbanks John Vose and Thomas Gay to be restored to the Pension Roll under the act of Congress of May 1. 1820.

In their behalf I have to request that their cases may be examined as soon as convenient and the result of Your Honors decision concerning them be communicated to me at the Post Office in this place, which will much oblige them, being destitute and needy. —
I am with sentiments of respect your most Obed t and humble Servant
