Sir
Your letter of the 7th of January last came, duly to hand, in which you say, "Before the case of David Pearson can be decided upon it is necessary that he transmit to this Department, a duly certified copy of the deed from him to Stephen Pearson for the land exhibited, by the applicant in his first schedule," Soon after your letter was received, and before any thing could be done in the business Pearson died, which I presume has put an end to his claim forever.
But from what was required, in the foregoing case I have anticipated, what I presume will be required, in that of Justus Reynolds which I forwarded to your office on the 7th of January last. I have therefore procured a copy of the deed of conveyance of the land, sold by Reynolds to James H. Looker which is mentioned in the schedule, he exhibited and which is now forwarded to you.
I would feel indebted to you for your decision

in this case as early as convenient, as well as, upon the application of Francis Nelson who which I forwarded to your office so long ago as the 26 th of November last, and in relation to which I have not yet had the honor to hear from you

Justus Reynolds a U.S. Pensioner on the Ohio Agency declares under oath, that in consequence of the multiplicity of business occasioned, by the number of persons who appeared before the Honorable Council of Common Pleas, on the 28th August, to renew their declarations and exhibit a schedule of their property, in obedience to the Act of Congress. some circumstances relative to his own situation which he deems material, were from this cause inadvertently omitted, And as the law calls for a full statement of facts, he deems it proper to state, that on the first day of April 1816 he entered, a quarter section of land, on the frontiers, in the State of Indiana and upon this entry, he paid $156.76 3/4 and upon this tract, he has paid four years taxes. But for want of money and sufficient health, he has never been able to go on to the said land, and improve it, but has been compelled, to rent a few acres of land, on the credit of his pension and,

on the same credit, he has received assistance from individuals mentioned in his sche- dule, herewith accompanying. That on the 4th of March 1818 he had neither horse care, truck or swine or any stock whatever but that by the receipt of his pension up to the 4th of March 1820 he has been enabled to purchase, almost every article mentioned in his schedule, as also to pay the interest 2 nd installment on his land, the fourth and last payment, upon his land was made, and advanced by the individual named in his schedule to save him from the payment of back interest, which would have been occasioned by longer delay of payment I believe that I could not sell this land, now for one dollar per acre, such is the scarcity of money and so great is the quantity of land in the market, I further declare that I have never received, from the U. States any Bounty, land, or equivalent for compensation which other soldiers in the regular Army did receive for their services in the revolutionary

War, having testified after leaving the army joined the Society of the People called a quakers and further I declare not
