Sir, Inclosed, I transmit to the war department the papers in the application of Miss Robinson to Rufus Medley for con- tinuance upon the pension rolls. - It perhaps may not be improper to suggest that Robinson's prop- -erty is now under judgment & execution & that the whole will fall far short of satisfying the demands against him - Information of the result, is desired as soon as compatible with the rules of office.
I have the honor to be very Respectfully Yours &c M c Avell
