Sir,
At the earnest request of Joseph Tucker, a pensioner both poor & old, living in this neighbourhood, I transmit his Certificate & affidavit with his request that it may be transferred & made payable here. He lived at a distance from Burlington where it was payable, and owing to the distance & other causes, he has never received any part hitherto; and having removed to live with a daughter, to be maintained for his pension, he requests the transfer, & that a new Certificate may be inclosed to me. Should anything further be necessary in order to such transfer, it will be furnished. In such case a brief information of such requisite is respectfully requested.
I have the Honor to be with much regard & respect
Your obedient Servant Dun d Humphreys
The Hon ble J. C. Calhoun Esq m Secretary of War.
