Sir
Your favour of 2 d inst. in relation to the claim of Mr. Johnson is at hand. In the summer of 1843 her claim under the act of 3. March 43 was sent to me for prosecution. - This being the first I had ever known of her claim I supposed on matter of course it was all right - Shortly before I received her birth certificate I was informed that she was dead - I retained the birth certificate a number of months in my hands and finally at the request of the heir I sent it to her - I have had neither fee nor reward in the matter nor have I heard more from it since - The amount due as I suppose from 4 March 43 to 23 d Sept 43 would be too small to be worth making out papers for for so many children. I shall immediately take steps to get the birth certificate sent to your agent. Respectfully V. M. Murch J. L. Barrons Esq
