Dr Sir
The petition of Mrs. Farnumhall and the soldier old revolutionary to be again placed on the pension list is enclosed, I have not been able to ascertain that any particular course to be pursued in such cases has been prescribed by the Department of War, and I have had such papers executed in I suppose would probably answer the purpose, if however I am mistaken will thank you to inform me how to proceed. Mr. Farnumhall is poor and needs a pension very much, his former pension certificate has been left with me to be forwarded if necessary.
With much respect Your friend Geo. Cotton
