Yours of the 14 th January came safe to hand arriving to have the various forwardness to your department upon which I drew my bounty in hand from the state of Virginia for ser- vices performed during the revolutionary war. That order is now entered & hope will receive from you that attention which it de- serves. I am unwilling to make any innuendo relative to the situation of others - but if I may be permitted, I would ask of you the favour to assign to me the reasons why others who entered at the time I did upon the same terms, who served with me in the same company, and were discharged at the same time with myself, are now & have since receiving from the General Government a pension for their services, which were no more than those performed by myself - when I am not permitted to receive one - if you will refer to the list of pensioners from Virginia, you will find Capt John Thomas, who was my Capt & David Woodruff - Alvan Jones, my messmates there are sufficient others could be mentioned who are thus favoured, while my claim in every respect equal to theirs is excluded & your friendly attention to the order entered as well as an answer to the above inquiring will oblige - me yours etc Thomas Perry -
