Sir,
On the 1 st inst: I addressed a letter to the Hon. Jas. C. Spencer, the representative from this district in the Congress of the United States, covering the memorial, and examination of Genl. Ebenezer Dyer a Captain in the Revolutionary War. — Fearing that Mr. Spencer may leave Washington before this letter should reach there, is the reason of my not now addressing him — Having observed your notice of the 27 th March making it necessary for all officers, to forward their Commissions, if in existence, to the War Office, I have communicated the same to Genl. Dyer, who has this day handed me his three several commissions which are now enclosed —
I also enclose the memorial and examination of John Young, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War in whom memorial is set forth, that his discharge was left on board a ship of the United States S t — You will please to forward his pension certificate to me, or to Judge Stwater — Very respectfully Your mo. Obdt. Servt
