Sir
I enclose you a copy of the Schedule of the real & personal estate of Nathan Kimbal of this town, a pensioner, as sworn too by him July 4 th 1820, as also the copy of a deed from him to his son Ebeneyzer Kimbal, dated November 9 th 1818 and recorded Feb. 11 th 1826. A similar deed was made & executed on the same day to his son Nathaniel for the other half of his free estate. I am a near neigh- bour to Nathan Kimbal and have been satisfied that he must have perjured himself in procuring a pension, & was always determined to convict him of the crime, but as the deeds were not recorded I have not been able to furnish the necessary evidence till too late. Having obtained the enclosed papers I called on Esther Shepley Esquire District attorney for the purpose of having Kimbal indicted, but found that the time had passed by, and was advised by Mr. Shepley to transmit the papers to the War department, as nothing more can now be done than to make the fraud known to your Honour.
Nathan Kimbal's farm is worth at least two thousand dollars, and he received nothing in consideration for the deeds, and as you will observe, reserves the use and improvement of the premises during his own & his wife's natural life.
I am respectfully Sir, your
obedient servant Obediah Winn Hon. — Barbour Secy of the war department
