Sir,
The issue of a patent for B. L. Wt. Act 55, No. 781, 160 Acres, is suspended for the reason that a Caveat was filed against it, by your office, on the 7 th of November, 1856. The locator of said warrant has filed the duplicate certificate of location, and asks that the patent be transmitted without further delay. I have, therefore, to request that you inform this office whether there is now any ground for withholding the same from him, and if not, that you withdraw said Caveat .

Casser of Reunions: Sir:
Yours,
letter of 18th ult was received by me here in the Army as the 30th ult having been forwarded by my wife, and I now hasten to reply.
The two land warrants you speak of were received by me as atty for Isaac Isaac Smith Smith by him disposed of before your letter of Nov 3, 1886. would The warrants were to the government, properly filed, and disposed of before

any knowledge was had of the Mistakes in the Pension office, and I take it as a matter of law and equity, you cannot refuse to issue the patents - or rather you have no right to obstruct the issue of Patents by the Clerk of Pension office.
The Warrants having been disposed of before your letter came could not be returned, and I affirm they were disposed of before your request was received, and before any notice of the Mistakes.
The two applications were innocently made and properly and fully explained by my letter accompanying the papers and the Mistakes are all on the side of the Clerks of the Pension office and you

Cannot require success parties to suffer through their carelessness.

In reply to your letter of the 25 th ultimo you are informed, that the validity of the title to land warrant No 3,763 for 160 acres issued under the act of March 3 rd 1855 in the name of Susannah Newell, widow of John Newell has not yet been determined. The matter will be fully investigated, after which you will be fully advised.
In your letter I find the following statement. "I have had several warrants cancelled, not that the warrants were not genuine, but because your office was imposed upon when it issued the warrants., Is it right for this cause to cancel a genuine warrant in the hands of an innocent and bona fide purchaser. Many years after it is located
In reply I have to say that in the cancellation of land warrants, the action of this office is governed by well established principles of law. The forgery of the assignment of a genuine land warrant, renders it a nullity, and against such forgery it is for the assignee to guard, and in failing to do so he acquires no right of indemnification from the Government

Dear Sir:
Please inform me whether you are going to cancel B.L. Warrant N o 3763 - for 160 acres, act, 1855. It is now some seven years since I located it at Decorah, Iowa, in name of Simon Hostetter, and I have paid tax on the land since, and if I am to lose it, I think I am entitled to know it before paying further tax on it.
I bought the warrant in the open market, and as far as I could see, it was all right.
I had several warrants cancelled not that the warrants were not genuine but because your office was imposed upon when they it issued the warrant,
Is it right for this cause, to cancel a genuine warrant, in the hands of an innocent, bona fide purchaser over

many years after its location.
If such is the rule of the Office & think it should be changed by act of Congress.
Please answer, and oblige
