The time is close at hand, when my business which is in the hands of the Committee of pensions &c will be acted on, & your most friendly interposition in my behalf the last session of Congress, will not be easily erased from my memory and it gives me hopes without apologizing to a sincere friend, of expecting a similar indulgence in the present case; And dear Sir, should any interference of yours be offered in my behalf It shall be considered by me as another great favour, particularly at the present period, my friend; I have here tofore given you information that I have asked for nothing more than my real due; how hard it is for me to come at my just due, when so many is eat- ing the bread of the Public by pensions without merit; but so it is & ever will be; I hope my friend you will remind the Hon ble Parris who has the charge of my affairs in congress, of the attested copy of a summons that I forwarded to the secretary of the Navy last June possibly that may serve to elucidate some of the queries in the Report; I shall take it exceedingly kind if you will forward me a line after my business is decided on by the Committee; mentioning how I may be situated; Respecting remuneration pray urge Mr Parris to call the matter up soon in the session as procrastinations in such cases are big with danger; My best respects to your good Lady & family & accept Sir, my Sincere Respects Yours &c Samuel Tucker

Sir:-
In response to your recent communication you are advised that one Samuel Tucker was issued a pension at the rate of $20.00 per month, commencing January 1st, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Lincoln, Maine, for long and continued service in the Navy, Revolutionary war. He was appointed Captain of the Frigate "Boston" March 15th, 1777, and papers on file in the claim show that he served continuously in that capacity for eight years, three months and two days. He may also have rendered service during in the War of 1812 but his claim for pension does not show that fact.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
