Sir, I enclose my Proof of claim for the pension due the Estate of David Pool I have complyed with Every thing requir'd at the pay office at Middletown which he has asked save one - Viz the Original Certificate. - I have allways understood my Father David Pool that he never had any Certificate, I have heretofore Recd his pension as conservator during his insanity & they tell me if he was still alive I could receive it If you will Examin the papers you will find that I have complied with Every Reasonable request - I have sent three times Every time something new Requir'd, Last of all, I must Rain the Dead; or get you to give orders to have it paid - if you will be so Obliging as to Return me the papers together with your answer I shall feel under great obligations for the same - I am led to believe that there was no Certificate granted by the Board of War at the time of the pension

allow my Father - & they say at the pay office they dont Expect he has Ever had any but you must give an order or he cannot pay with out the Certificate as such is his orders
Respectfully yours
John Pool Executor to the Estate of David Pool
