Dear Sir.
Sometime last Fall I forwarded to Genl. Haim, then at Washington, the necessary papers, to receive the pension of Jacob Walter, a Revolutionary Pensioner, who on account of sickness and removal into a distant section of our County, had not applied for his pension for upwards of a year. Payment was refused, and the Genl. requested, by P. Hagner Esq. to forward the vouchers to the agent at Phil a Samuel D. Smith. He retained the papers till after the adjournment of Congress and on his return home presented them to the agent at Phil a who refused payment, stating that application should have been made within ninety days from the date of the Power of Attorney. Since then the Pensioner is deceased, and his Representatives are desirous to receive the amount due him. He is entitled, at the rate of Twenty Dollars per annum, from Sept. 4 th 1841. Certificate dated Feb y 4. 1834 N o 25.958. Not having the necessary Blanks, induces me to apply to you for such papers as may be necessary to receive it, also with such information as will enable me to draw them up correctly. By forwarding them you will greatly oblige
Yours & c William D. H. g.
