House of Reps Jan'y 30 1844
Sir I have received the petition of Paul Stickney, accompanied by a letter from some highly respectable citizens of my district.
I am not informed of the difference, if any, between a private and Fifer, as to amount of Pension.
If he served as he represents, I presume you have the evidence of it in your possession, and also, - if he is entitled to an increase of pay that you have the power of granting it. I therefore refer the application to you for an answer. -
Very Respectfully yours
Hon. J. L. Edwards O. Hunsford
