Mr. Stephen King
Dear Sir,
Your favour of the 29 th of Dec r last covering your application for a pension was received on the 9 th ult. I embraced the earliest convenient opportunity to present your case to the consideration of the proper department and I have not since failed to push it as far as justice and propriety would warrant. After rejection I procured a revision of it; and upon the second examination the opinion of the Attorney General was taken, as you may see by examining the papers which with many others are returned to Mr. Stewart. I confess that the ground taken by the Secretary and sanctioned by the Attorney General is unexpected to me. But whether a revision or alteration of it can be obtained is extremely doubtful. With sincere regret for your unfortunate situation I remain with friendly regard Your Obedient Servant Marcus Morton

He states that he sold his Real Estate to three of his Sons for $3.300 & they agreed to become responsible to his creditors for his debts. He does not state when he sold it, nor give the names of his sons, nor does he give a copy of the deed.

I hereby certify that I have for several years been acquainted with Stephen King an Applicant for a pension; during all which time, he was though in the possession of considerable property, has been reported to owe more than he possessed and has not been in good credit. He has recently, as I have been informed, sold nearly all his property and applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of his debts. But it being insufficient he is still indebted beyond his ability to pay.
