James L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions Sir:
I beg to trouble you with the enclosed Voucher - for payment made to Daniel M c Millan a Pensioner under the Act of 1832 - You will see that it has been suspended at the M c Clung Department The reason stated therein.
I am under the impression that you sent me some time past, an opinion of the then Attorney General (Mr s L aw rence I think) stating that there was no Law Authorizing the re -issue of certificates from the War Dept. and that you gave me authority to make payments as has been done in this case - I certainly have been acting on the above supposition for some years - The enclosed Voucher is the first that has been since rejected at the Department.
You will please direct me as to the proper course to pursue with this paper and others, which are suddenly circumstances.
I am Sir very respectfully
Yours O. Smith
