Hon Lewis Cass Sir
Enclosed is application of Daniel Parke for a pension under the late law. Mr Parke had a certificate under Law 1818. but was dropped from roll in 1820. He entrusted his certificate to the Hon Mr Hoss late Member of Congress from this County to obtain a pension for him - but he thinks he never did anything unless to present claim to Congress. Mr Hoss has left this County and Mr Parke supposes that the old certificate if in existence can do him no good and therefore hopes his name will be placed on the pension roll -
Respectfully
Your most obed servt

Your reply will oblige,
Yours truly,
