Sir - It is requested that any answer or communication on the subject of this application, which may be made, shall be directed to the care of Jacob F. Foute, Maryville East Tenn - Should the Applicant be restored to the pension roll he hopes he will be paid at Knoxville, from which place his residence is distant only about 30 Miles - and it would be next to impossible to get his pension from a Knoxville owing to the great distance, his poverty and infirmity -
I have long known the applicant and can cheerfully say that he is an old man of fair character for honesty and sobriety he is remarkably industrious and now very poor , and I do think him much more worthy & needy of the provision of "Uncle Sam," than many of my acquaintance who receive it on similar claims.

Dear Sir
My friend J. E. Foote informs me that some time since he forwarded the claim of Mrs Nancy Mackey for Pension & that a Certificate was rec d in due time for an annual payment of 48 66 / 100 Dols commencing on the 4 th March 1848, being for same amt that the applicant had drawn in under former acts, this to me seems a little strange and it appears that some mistake must have occurred in issuing certificate, as I suppose that the Certificate should have in st ed for "the full pay to which her husband would have been entitled to if living," pay commencing in 36 deducting former paymts.
I am also informed by him that he found Certificates of Sec. of State at Richmond Va, in favor of Mrs. Margaret Heier & Mrs Nancy Shinnman applicants for Pension from this County, & that they have not been heard from since, I am well aware sir that you are continually harassed with letters of inquiry in matter of this character

but when you reflect for a moment, you will not think this strange, as a large number of the applicants are in very moderate circumstances. In the cases referred to at the request of the applicants who I am satisfied are citizens in good standing in this County I have thus troubled you and respectfully request that you will address me upon the matters herein contained as early as you may find it convenient, Please write me at this place
