Sir
Your directions relating to Jacob's claim have been obeyed, and will be complied with, in relation to the claims of Rice, and Dilmann: Poor old Jacob is considerably involved in debt, — charitable persons have loaned him money, as he required it, from the time of my becoming his Agent, and on my assurance that his claim would eventually pass: he is however fast descending to his eternal home, and, for their philanthropy, it would be a pity, that they should suffer.
I beg you will positively inform me, what is absolutely, and unavoidably necessary to the passing of poor crippled Jos. Redman's claim.
I have the Honor to be very Respectfully Yours at. Dble serv. H. B. Maoran

Dear
I rec d your letter from the office a few minutes since, after night dated 25 th inst. with the top enclosure, and exceedingly regret the defect that has produced the procrastination. I confidently expected the enclosure with note of reference to Mr. Beach would have an- nounced every pleasure, and a decent transmutation would have the issuing of certificates, I acknowledge my fault in not directly expressing your request which has resulted in delaying that re- quest much needed by the old men worn out in the best of cause for us. Such old veterans has always commanded my time, from our first acquaintance, and we shall have my aid and warmth wither for their comfort along the short remainder of their temporal race. I enclose the paper, and if you please hand the old man the bank note,* it may help him, until he receives of his country what has remained long due. I cannot receive any thing and will in this in- stance as in many others get the £100 to have in instead of the your old deceased soldier Yours very respectfully John Thompson
