He was required to give a more definite statement of his service and state his reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension. He has not yet stated his reasons for the delay his not having made an earlier application. If he can procure any positive proof of his service he should do so.

Sir - About a year since two petitions for Pensions were sent from this town one of Robt McClintock and one of James Boylston in drawing them up. I believe the forms were obeyed. Specifically as possible. I have heard nothing of their reception - and would like to know if they ever came to hand, and whether the forms prescribed were complied with. At the request of several lawyers in this place, I would ask you to send a copy of the Pension law, directed to me - and any information relative to the above named petitions, would be very acceptable
Respectfully
