Honble Lewis Cass &c Henderson 23 rd Nov r 1828.
Respected Sir A letter of Mr H. Gordon of "7 th Inst t " has been duly received remanding the copy of declaration & power of Atty to me in case of the Dysons" - Nothing can be more certain than that Mr. Gordon in his last but one required that "the transcript of the record should be in the Ck's own handwriting" - I suppose he meant the Certificate & in hurry said the whole record - I now have the honour to forward the other copy - with the auto-graph of the 2 Dysons & Squire Jos. R. Delaney's attestations - I also enclose the affidavit of my friend - Tho. Towles Jr. Esq re , son of Judge T. Towles. a learned, & accomplished young Lawyer, & I hope this attestation, dignified (in my opinion at least) together with that of the Eldest son - L. Maddox Dyson, which is annexed will satisfy Mr. Gordon that "inter res arduas" in the midst of difficulties, perplexities, the turmoils of a Co Ct. to which (perhaps) he is an entire stranger, I did the best I could - I wd ask the Honble Mr. Wort himself in the name of common sense, of all that is rational, - what connection is there between the attestation of the 2 Dysons by Joseph R. Delaney Esq re an Sp - of Union Co Ky & "satisfactory evidence being adduced" before y r Magistrates (in Sess - ion as they were) as to the heirship of these 2 nephews to the late Cap. Tho Warman of Va. Line?

To me it wd appear that such an officer of the Department, as Mr. Gordon appears to be, left to himself, would be able to embody a form from the two that wd be entirely rational, & totally exempt from all the mysticisms that (to me at least, & young Mr. Towles) appear prima facie on the two papers — There is no printed form for sole , or conjoint heirship, nor a hint given to me what situation that ought to have among the others — I require Dr. R. Delaney has attested that "all the interlineations were made before signing," these wd not have been made but for this that the 2 d Dyson unexpectedly appeared after filling up — & I had, wild as we are here, for the honour of Lindley Murray to change "my" into "our" & "me" into "us" — etc, etc, etc
I suppose the Dept. cannot issue a patent for the Dysons half, omitting the claim of the Vincents if not let the want for both come, both, & I will wait some time to communicate with the Vincents for remote off. My friend, Mr. John Alexander of Corhoctor Co., has not as now sent on his choice of the three lots for the his of the late Capt. D. Marks, we will take chance with lots No. 36, 37, & 38 in section 1. T. 7. R. 10 — in the painted diagram transmitted for the unappropriated lots in Simon Co. But if Mr. A. has arrived; don't try him let them be the numbers —

If not incompatible with official duty, the Dept. will have the goodness to inform me whether the Marks Lins will be subject to taxation by the Sheriff of Knox for 1832, or are exempt by the original act of Congress for so many years — all of which is most respectfully submitted by John Boyle — by Henderson

In Compliance with the request of John Boyle, J Thomas Lowles Junr. a Practising Attorney in the County of Union Ky do certify that at the October term of the County Court for this County, I assisted the said John Boyle in Collecting  Evidence of the descent of John Macdoy Dyson & Francis Warman Dyson from Elizabeth Dyson alias Warman Warman sister of Thos Warman Cote or Capt in the Virginia Line in the war of the Revolution. That said Descent was Proved by the oaths of said applicants before the County Court. That they also swore that Nancy Vincent alias Warman was the only other sister of the aforesaid Thomas Warman that he had no brothers and died without issue. This Evidence was adduced in Court because the Printed form which Mr Boyle exhibited to the Court required "Satisfactory Evidence" That the original Power of attorney & declaration was filed in the Clerks office of this County, & that the Paper which was transmitted & returned was a copy of the one proved in Court written by Mr Boyle & signed by the Clerks deputy. The Clerk himself being absent. & the deputy being unwell was unable to write that at my suggestion Mr Boyle wrote the copy & the first deputy signed it.
