Dear Father
Dear Sir,
Permit me to congratulate you on the result of the late election, and I know not whether it be an end or otherwise that we failed again to elect in Somerville & Waterville; at any rate as we are not likely to be represented directly at present we claim relationship to Kennebec, notwithstanding we are that under the Guardianship of Waterville, so far as to trouble you with a small matter of business.
I herewith enclose you a power from Lydia M c Intire to get an arrears of pension belonging to her. I believe the papers are made out so that you can obtain the money from the Pension Office being $80.11. which you may remit to me by a draft on the Augusta Bank if you obtain the money deducting all costs and fees. If any objection is made to the form of the application please inform me and I will supply any defects. Also M c Intire has received her pension from March 5. 1838 to March 4. 1841 under the Act granting five years pension to widows; and by a Rule of the Pension Office recently adopted she is entitled to the pension of $40 a year from March 4. 1836 to March 5. 1838.
I am dear Sir, your Friend & William Atkin.

P.S. Some delay of time is required to get the case through the routine of the Pension Office and Treasury admitting the papers to be in due form but I hope you will do me the favor to present the case and attend to it. W. A. C.

Sir
In reply to your inquiry of this morning in relation to the pen- sion of Lydia M c Clintock, I have the honour to inform you that so far as the returns have been received from the Pension Office Mrs M c Clintock's name does not appear to have been inserted on the roll so as to entitle her to the annuity now claimed. The first amount can be obtained on applica- tion at the Pension Office. It is proper further to inform you that when the new roll is established it will be payable as heretofore at the pen- sion agency in Eastland No. 7. The papers are herewith returned.

To the Honorable the Secretary of the Department of War of the United States.
I the subscriber, being Chief Justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Second Eastern Circuit of Massachusetts, embracing the Counties of Lincoln, Kennebec and Somerset, do hereby certify to your Honor, that Phinehas McIntire, a citizen of the United States, now resident in Norridgewock, in the said County of Somerset, in the District of Maine, on the twenty third day of April, A. D. 1818, made application to me to receive his declaration under oath, and such other evidence, as was in his power to produce; and to transmit the same, and the proceedings had thereon, to your Honor; that he might be placed on the pension list of the United States, agreeably to the provisions of an Act, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," passed March 18, A. D. 1818, which declaration, and the other evidence produced by the said applicant, is hereunto annexed.
And I do further certify to your Honor, that after a full examination of the said applicant, and a careful consideration of the evidence in the case, it appears to me that the said applicant did serve as a private soldier, in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for more than nine months, as stated in his declaration aforesaid; and that from his reduced circumstances, he needs the assistance of his country for support.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the Seal of the Court in which I preside, to be hereunto affixed, this twenty first day of May in the year of our LORD one thousand eight hundred and eighteen.
