Yours favour of the 8 th inst Informs me that Mr L. B. True has filed Powers of Attorney in several of the cases named in my list sent to you the 19 th of January last; and that you have no power to prevent the payment to him if they should be admitted; as I am a party im- powered by and in said Powers of Attorney with it not answer the for me to request you not to pay over any of the claims if allowed; which are nam- ed in my list above named until you first give me notice of said allowed claim; as it will give considerable trouble to get powers from the parties revoke the former Powers; I pursue any course - however that you may think best, if the one proposed will not do; you state in your letter that the Wm Stewart claim has been admitted years ago; will you be so good as to inform me who the agent was im- powered by the parties to attend to and receive the pension money &c. I am satisfied that it can be proven satisfactorily that the pension was never received by the above named William Stewart his widow or heirs; Wm Stewart died March 7 th 1822 and his widow died Feb 6, 1846 was married 1775 never had but one child. James Stewart was Born March 1776; who gave the Power of Attorney; the claim is in the widows right please examine further into this matter} yours Truly G. L. White
