Sir:
The powers of attorney in the cases of John Scott, deceased, and William VanSkiver, deceased, both of Ohio, which accompanied your letters of 20 th December last, have been filed. Filed addl. Rec. Feb. 25, 1853
The former claim was rejected in 1836, on the ground that the service, being domestic defence, does not entitle to a pension.
The other case was suspended on the ground that there were no such terms of service in the Pennsylvania militia, as alleged by the Declarant, he stating that he enlisted for a seven months' term, and for want of proof of Service, &c.
I am, respectfully, Your, Obt. Servt. J. M. [?] Commissioner
J. J. Coombs, Esq. Present.

Evidence of Van Klief's Des- ires.

In Mr. Unskiver's declaration, made before the Court of Common Pleas of Perry County, Ohio, in June 1876, he states that he served seven months in the Com- pany commanded by Capt. Anthony Bitter . The certificate of the Comptroller of Pa. now filed corroborates and con- firms the declaration in the most full and complete manner, and is conclusive evidence of service
