Dear Sir
I am requested to ascertain to whom and at what time the last half yearly payment was made on the claim of Elisha Lord decd. as a revolutionary Pensioner. He died in August 1830 & from the letter of enquiry I conclude there would have been 6 mos pay due the 1 st of Sept. next ensuing. The letter states that the papers were made out by the heirs & handed to H. J. Lord & Kempf to collect, since which time they have heard nothing from them, nor have they recd. any payment.
Should there appear to be anything due on the claim, you will please forward me a copy of the necessary blanks for obtaining it. Mr. Lord resided in the town of Hunter Greene Co. N. York.
Respectfully Yours
