Sir:
Should the annexed affidavit to be be considered satisfactory, to continue the name of Hubbell Stevens on the Pension Roll, you will please to forward your notice, to that effect, to me - annexed to Mr Stevens original affidavit, you can find the necessary evidence of my official signature -
It is a matter of public notoriety here that when P. Stevens first applied for a pension he was destitute of property - that with the aid of his pension money he endeavoured to purchase the premises in question - but has failed in payment & lost the same - & I consider he is entitled to be continued on the Roll - the truth is that instead of spending his pension in idle habits & dissipation - he has endeavoured to so plan it as to make himself - comfortable hereafter & in so doing has been the cause of being suspended for the present -
