Dear Sir,
I enclose to the War office the declaration of Aaron Bellows of this town with the additional evidence accompanying the same. I think he hopes will be satisfactory. Should it be so, please to return the pension certificate to me. Should any thing more be wanted in his power to produce, he would obtain it as soon as I know it; as he is depending wholly on charity for his support.
Very respectfully, &c
