Court of Pensioners Washington City

Dear Sir,
Richmond Jan'y 5 th 1835
I presented to day at the pension office in this place the enclosed power of Attorney to receive the Pension of David Kinnaird. Payment was refused because on examination of the Books here, it was found that the name had been certified from your office as David Kinnaird . You will see that it is written Kinnaird in copying the pension certificate into the power of Attorney and once when he has made his mark, but in another place it is written Kinnaird. I have not the Pension certificate here and cannot with positive certainty say how the name is spelled in that paper, but I have known the man all my life and believe his name to be properly spelled Kinnaird and often pronounced as if it was Kinnaird" — which accounts for the different spelling — I have to request in the name of the said man that you instruct the agent here to pay the money upon the enclosed power and there be any correction necessary I will obey your instructions on the subject and save you all trouble. Myself and John J. Warbom who is now here will make affidavit that the man who signed the enclosed is the man for whom he and I obtained the pension about the 15 th Dec 1832. He has since

times below without difficulty. I should inform you that the Magistrate's name and signature have been regularly certified to the Agent here and the papers filed.
A compliance will much oblige
Sir
Edmund Brodie

KINNAIRD, David (Rappahannock) S. of W. 1835 Pen. 2, 192.
LOVE, Chas (Wason) S. of W. 1835 Pen. 2, 15.
In the Preface to the above reports, it is said that the above abbreviations opposite each name refer to a Report of the Secretary of War for year 1835 concerning Pensions. The figures "2, 117" and "2, 192" and "2, 15" no doubt indicate the volume and page numbers where the above names are mentioned as Revolutionary Soldiers.
Will you kindly write me what the above mentioned Report of the Secretary of War may show in relation to the three names listed above? If it mentions them as Revolu- tionary Soldiers, I want certified copy of all and every paper, record and matter whatsoever which any office or department of the Government may contain and which in any way mentions or relates to them.
I would much appreciate a letter from your Department, and wish you would advise me the fees to be paid for certified copy of any and all matters your Depart- ment may have concerning the persons above named in connection with the Revolutionary War.
Yours very truly,
John A. Hope
