Respected Sir
My Statement of Claim for a Pension having long since been transmitted by Mr. Lowell to the proper Department, and hearing nothing from it, the others sent on since have been received and allowed. If you Sir could call at the Office before your return home and enquire the result, or receive the Certificate and forward it, you would confer a favour which I shall gratefully acknowledge, there can I think be no doubt of the sufficiency of the vouchers - it only wants to be taken up, and there is no doubt of its being allowed. I regret to give you trouble but being now in my 76 year and in bad health, it will be of great use to me tho' the amount will be small
With Great Respect
Yours &c
