Sir
The enclosed is the application of Samuel M Logan for a New Pension Certificate in place of the Certificate of his father Major Samuel Logan of Pennington's Regiment in the Revolutionary War, which is now lost. In drawing the affidavit I have not accounted for the delay in making application, because I presumed the only questions for consideration were, first was Samuel Logan a pensioner at the time of his death? 2d he did without a word him surviving? 3d who are his children 4th is his Pension Certificate lost? 5th how much was due at the time of his death? It might have been stated in addition by Mr Logan (as he informed me) that he was entirely ignorant that any balance was due to his father, and should probably have remained so if he had not received a letter from John P Duvall Post marked Bardstown Kentucky March 28th 1836 informing him "That near $13000 the commutation pay of Major Samuel Logan of the army of the Revolution, is due (if not paid)" This induced him to examine into the matter, and he found that there was a balance of $20 pension due to his father at his death, which is now due to his children for which he applies.
Respectfully Yours
