Sir,
I hence received the certificate of Iowa then Mr Smith as described in a conversation here between us in Dec; He applied to be restored under the act of 1818 which was granted to him. Pending that application he applied (and without knowing he was restored) under the act of '32 and his Certificate was obtained. He wishes to retain his certificate under the act of 1818. because he owes $16. more. This man is my neighbor and is most worthy and estimable in the community.
I enclose the certificate and with great regard
Yours most affec- fidence

From Hon Michael Hoffman
respecting the case of Jonathan H. Gilbert
L. Edwards
Pension Office
War Dept

Washington City, Dec. 17, 1827.
Sir,
Under the act of 1818, Jonathan Hurlbut of Fairfield or Newport, Herkimer County New York, was placed on the pension list and drew his pension for a year or more. He was displaced from the list probably under the act of 1820. He had a "Lease Lot" of land - the rent was then unpaid and has since accumulated - and he is in fact indebted to a greater amount than he is worth.
I would ask the cause of his removal - and enquire respectfully what proof he ought to make to be restored - He is a most conscientious man and I wish to advise him correctly in all respects.
The favor of an early answer is solicited.
With esteem &c
Yours &c
Michael Hoffman
