Rec. 25 Sept. 1823. John C. Calhoun

Haverhill August 12. 1873.
Dear J. C. Calhoun,
Sir,
Mr Thomas Allinson, a veteran of the Revolution, has requested me to write to the Department of War to ascertain the situation of his claim to a pension for his revolutionary services. He had employed my late friend Ephraim Root to transact his business with the government, but the death of that gentleman, which occurred in June last, has left him ignorant of the situation of his application. Nor can I, from the papers or memorandum of Mr Root, (whose administration I am) acquire any light upon this subject. It would seem however, from the memorandum & letter from the Department, which are herewith enclosed, that some two or three years since, the application of Mr Allinson was forwarded. In his declaration forwarded at that time, the person who drew the declaration, made a mistake in reducing the old gentleman's statements to writing. In that declaration, he is made to say, "that he enlisted in 1775 in the Col. Charles Scott's, whereas in truth Scott was not a Colonel till 75. as appears by the enclosed memorandum. After the return of these papers, he made out a new declaration, which was correct in point of fact, & in proper form. The answer of the Department to this renewed application, I suppose is con-

named in Mr. Edwards letter, which is enclosed, dated 7 th May 1823, in which it is stated, that he must prove his services by two witnesses &c. Your allusion appears me, that this testimony was once procured, & forwarded to the War Department, at the time, or shortly after his original application. If so, it must be on file in that office now, and would I suppose be satisfactory under his last declaration. I am the more inclined to think, the depositions as to his services, must be on file in your office, from the expression in your memorandum of 22 nd June 1822, saying, that the "original papers of Mr. Minor are on file in War Department." It is of great importance to Mr. Minor, that he should avail himself of this testimony, as from the removal of one of his witnesses, he can never obtain the evidence required to substantiate his claim to a pension. He is a poor, and I believe a worthy man, and I should be sorry indeed, if by any accident, he should be prevented from obtaining his pension. I sincerely hope therefore, that the office will be searched, for the affidavit of his services, and that being found, they will substantiate his claim to the bounty of his country.
With great respect,
I am yours &c
