To the Hon. the Secretary of War, Sir Having heard that Mr. Nathaniel Walden, is a pensioner, and drawed money from the United States as such, I think it an incumbent duty which I owe to myself and the public to state, to your honor, that I have this day quit claimed to him, and to his heirs and assigns, a certain farm, containing fifty two acres of land situate lying and being in the town of Danube, in the County of Herkimer. Estimated by good Judges to be worth One thousand Dollars at least, the same has been in his possession - or he has lived on the same for fifteen years, last past the same was sold, by virtue of a mortgage and bid off for his benefit by Mr. Otis the money on the foreclosure was paid by myself, and I agreed if that he would pay the amount to me together with the interest in a given time that in that case I. was to quit claim the said farm back to him, a bond was given to that effect - this day he has tendered to me in specie the amount being nearly three hundred Dollars I there- fore think by the act that he ought not to in- -pose upon the public, the above facts are correct

and am willing to qualify to the same, and to prove it by any other source which your honor may direct—
Yours sincerely
