Sir
When at Washington in the Spring I was informed at the Pension Office that Samuel Hunt whose pension certificate is enclosed was entitled & received for during the war. I called at your office to see if your rolls bore the same testimony; but you are not upstairs & I could not ascertain. Mr Hunt supposed he was a Three years Man, & so declared, but as many inpositions of the kind seem to have been practiced by the recruiting officers of that day, it is quite probable he was returned for during the war, when he intended to enlist for 3 years & the war closed so soon, he remained ignorant of it. If this is the case, he is quite willing to avail himself of the benefits of the act of 1890. I therefore enclose his application, with his certificate from the war office, to be cancelled cancelled in case his claim is admitted at the Treasury. I am Sir, Very respectfully
Your Obt Servt.

Sir
Since my letter of the 10 th enclosing the application of Samuel Hunt for the benefits of the act of 1828, I have adverted to that act, & found it a provision which I had forgotten, namely, that one who was on any pension roll at its passage was not entitled to its provisions. As Mr Hunt was then on the roll under the act of 1828, I suppose he is excluded. His present application is not of much consequence, as it was only to obtain $100, instead of $96 W. Am. I suppose therefore you need give yourself no further trouble about it, only to return the certificate I sent you.
I am, Sir, Respectfully Your Obt. Servt.
