Copy of a letter from Secretary of War Carrington to L. D. R. concerning Wm Tipton & Ransom Poulter

Raleigh 5th April 1822
Sir
Your letter of the 15th Ultimo was received this morning, stating that you had lately received a letter from the war department informing you that the declarations of Ransom Pount & William Tippet soldiers be transmitted by you for the purpose of obtaining pensions had been forwarded to my office & not since heard from. If this be a fact. I do not know how relief is to be obtained for them from my list of certificates given in such cases (I keep a regular list of them) that a certificate in the case of William Tippet was made and forwarded more than a year ago Ransom Pount's declaration has never been Rec: at this office. (a certificate has been issued for Joshua Pount)
Yours &c J. R. Ricketts Esq. D. K.
