As on other days you have the affairs of James Monroe to the loss of his pension Certificate the affair is much out I believe according to the instructions you pronounced me the Certificate was destroyed according to his statement as I saw no such Certificate necessary. It was left with me having made out his accounts ever since he drew a pension, and on the 14th of March last my office was destroyed by fire together with all of its contents, the Certificate being in it at the time.
