Granville (Massachusetts) 12 July 1819-
Hon. W m Calhoun,
Herewith I inclose the affidavit of Abner Warner of this town accompanied with sufficient proof to make him a subject under the late act of Congress granting Pensions to certain Revolutionary Soldiers —
He made his affidavit more than a year ago and has been anxiously enquiring for a return, but from some unaccountable cause he has heard nothing until within a few days past it has been returned for further proof —
Having no interest but to favour the application of a very poor and infirm old man who is waiting with great solicitude the liberality of his Country I am induced, at his request, to beg that his case may be immediately attended to and his Certificate forwarded to me —
Plenar, Sir, have the good office

to order his Certificate directed to me at Rainville, County of Hampden State of Massachusetts - And you will much oblige Sir, very
Respectfully Your most
Obedient
