Dear J. L. Edwards - Comm of Pensions - Washington City - D. C.

Glascow Ky July 27. 1840
Dear Sir
Mr Moses White formerly of Lyndeboro but now a resident of this Town, has handed me his Certificate for a Pension dated October 10th AD 1833, recorded in Book G. Vol 1 st Page 128. entitling him to receive $21.33 per annum. He thinks there must have been an error of $5.33 as he says he established eight months service - He has requested me to ask you to reexamine his case, & if the evidence furnished is not sufficient to est- -ablish that term of time he thinks he can furnish it.
He says that he has made the same request to Esqr Brown of Frankstown who assisted him in getting his Certificate, but could now give any definite answer. from him in relation to it -
An answer from you when it may be convenient will much oblige your friend & Noble Sub-
Unil Deaw
