Some time since I filed a request that the the heirs claim of John Vaughn for half pay should not be allowed until I had an opportunity of investigating the claim of John Vaughn who was my late father in law to the same as I had reason to believe that his heirs were the persons intitled to the benefit of the act - I have satisfied  myself the that heirs of the John Vaughn for whom I was acting are not the persons intitled and that the heirs of John Vaughn who was the brother of Russell Vaughn are the proper persons I therefore wish draw all opposition to the adjustment of the claim I have the Honor to be Very Respectfully Your obed Servt Chittenden

Referred to the third Auditor who will please to furnish the information requested in the last paragraph.
