Dear Madam:

Hon. S. P. Waldo, Comm d of Pensions, &c.
I respectfully ask a re-examination of the case of David Sackett of Ohio, whose claim was suspended for the reason that the heir did not make application before a court of record. It is alleged by the heirs that Mr Sackett once made application under the act 1838, I supposed that his paper, could be found, hence the present application was made before a justice of the Peace. I desire to know whether the case will allowed if I should have the declaration made before a court of record. I do not wish to place the parties to any more expense than possible, inasmuch, as the claim is very small.
I remain Your Obedient

I enclose herewith the application of the heirs of Doct Samuel Sackett, of Ohio for pensions under act 7th June 1832. I enclose also his Commission and 15 different lists of soldiers who were under his charge as Surgeon of Swifts Regt in 1776. a large number of the soldiers whose names appear on said lists are pensioned for the service I would refer you particularly, to the cases of Ebenezer Fowler, Jared Dudley & Timothy Rossiter, admitted Connecticut 1832.
I am informed by the heirs of Surgeon Sackett that he made application for a pension about the year 1820, I suppose he was not allowed then on account of his service not being continental I hope the case will now be allowed
I am Sir Very Respectfully,
