Dear Sir,
Enclosed are some papers which were prepared to draw the residue of pension due the children of Geo: Walden dec d on presenting them Mr Robinson said that he could not pay it in consequence of informality but that if I would get the Court to Certify that Walden left no widow and that the children were of lawful age he did not doubt if I would send the papers on for your inspection that you would allow it or direct him to pay it. I have therefore sent them on hoping that you will as the amount is very small and the expense of getting John P Walden papers again executed nearly equal to the part he will get. I say under these circumstances I hope you will direct Mr Robinson to pay it off with the enclosed papers. You will please let me hear from you as soon as your arduous engagements will permit of
Very Respectfully
