To the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States - Sir - At the request of Reuben Moore of Newton in the County of Middlesex Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I enclose his declaration or statement made under oath for the purpose of obtaining a pension under the law of June 7 th 1832 - and on his behalf, I request that he may be placed on the pension roll - I suppose from his statement to me that he may be entitled to a full pen- sion under the act of 1818 - as he says he has become sufficiently poor, but as he is in firm belief might occasion him some trouble to make out his case I am all perhaps be mistaken in his expectations, he is content to be put on the roll under the last act of June 7 th .

It appears by a certificate of the clerk of the District Court here, that his declaration made before that court, might only show that he had served on the continental establishment eighteen months - that That was true but not the whole truth - But as 18 mos was more than sufficient to have entitled him to a pension under the act of 1818 - if he had been qualified by his poverty, he might have failed in stating the full time, or the Court might have inserted a less time as being sufficient for the purpose - It is presumed that there is in the department, the evidence furnished in 1818 & 1819. which will corroborate the statements inclosed & with them will furnish the satisfactory evidence to the Secretary of the Treasury required by Statute & the regulations established by him
