Sir
I have again to return your pension papers - the person who wrote the power has bungled it so that I cannot pay upon it - It should read - from the 4 th of March 1840 to the 4 th of September 1840 - It appears to have been so written, and then altered to read from the 4 th of September 1840 to the 4 th September 1841 - I am sorry to put you to the trouble and expense of making other papers, but so it is that I have to send all these papers to Washington City in making my quarterly returns, and when even any erasures are alterations appear. They are returned to me and no credit is given me for the payment until it is corrected - my instructions are that the papers must be free from alterations in their material parts - when other papers are sent to me that I can pay on will lose no time in sending you the money

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
This oath is required once from every pensioner who is native born, or has been naturalized. If a minor, from the guardian; if dead, from the person or persons executing the vouchers.

Hon. Geo. B. Whitney Esq.
I received yours, of the 26 th inst. acknowledging the debt of Mary Roses Claim for a Pension and for County Taxes - No. 282, 438 - Act, - 552 - Also the yours of the 22 nd in the same case. You state that she must go before a "Court of Record" to make her declaration. This an impossibility in her case. She is some 18 miles from the County Seat ; and she is totally unable to ride, or go, in any way to the Court of Record , of which you speak. A Justice of the Peace, is authorized to take testimony and affidavits in any cases known to the laws of the land; and no system of jurisprudence teaches us to the contrary.
Her husband, Richard Rose, was a Pensioner; and there is

Testimony enough to show that she was his wife, when was drawing from year to year his Pension. Hence, I shall pre- pare affidavits of persons who then knew her intimately , at that time, and who will identify the Certificate of Transfer of his Pension from Indiana to Illinois. And that I may do that, you will please return said Certificate of Transfer to me & the attached with the proper affidavits, and returned to you.
Her health is very feeble, she is also more than very needy, and I trust you will not delay in affording me an opportunity to facilitate the allowance of her claim.
Very Resp'tly, J. F. Bingham

Sir.
I again enclose you the papers of Richard Rose who claims a Revolutionary Pension - He has amended his declaration and I hope satisfactorily, as he is really deserving, if he be legally entitled to the Pension. Your early attention to the enclosed is requested most respectfully.
I received your letter relative to Col. Rose, and his exchanging a security. Col. Rose may want a copy of his former Bond, and securities; as I must apprehend, the change of one name, as security, will a new Bond, although but one name be changed of the persons executing it.
Very respectfully yours To
