I sent the accom- panying copy of an act for the relief of Daniel Waldo, a pensioner, to the Secretary of the Interior this morning at the request of Mr Waldo, and Mr Trully handed my letter and the act by the request of the Secretary of the Interior to the Chief Clerk of the 3rd Auditors Office, expecting an account would be stated there, for the amount now due. On calling at the 3rd Auditors Office with Mr Waldo, we were told, that, inasmuch as the act required the name of Mr Waldo to be placed on the pension list, that an account would not be stated but, that you would give the necessary instructions, and issue the necessary papers, for having him paid by the pension agent of his district. He resides at Syracuse New York, and payment at Albany will meet his convenience. Mr Waldo is Chaplain of the House of Representatives, and wishes to leave on the same part of the week. He has his former certifi- cate which he will send to you on Monday.

Any communications to him, to day or Monday at Washington, be pleased to send it here or to the Post Office to the care of Hon Amos P. Granger Member of Congress.
