A Brackenridge

It is hereby certified that John Pearce formerly a private of Captain Hatterys Company in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Gibson, who it appears by the accompanying Certificate was placed on the pension roll at the rate of two dollars and sixty six and two thirds cents per month on account as he states of having received a wound through the left arm just above the elbow joint by the passage of a musket ball which shattered the bones; and a wound in the left side in which the ball penetrated the abdomen and eventually the ab intestines (and was passed off by stool) in 1831. his arm as he states being much weaker and more painful than formerly while in the line of his duty and in the said service, on or about the 14 th day of November in the year Seventeen hundred Ninety one at a place, on one of the branches of the great Miami River then the North West Territory, now State of Ohio is not only still disabled in consequence of the said injury but in our opinion is entitled to three dollars, thirty three and 1/3 cents more than he already receives as a pensioner being disabled to a degree amounting to three fourths of a total disability.

H. Howard Clerk

I do hereby certify that I have a perfect knowledge of Doctors H Bissell & J P Coulter the physicians who have affixed their signatures to the annexed deposition and their standing as such is estimable in their professions and full confidence can be given to their statement Pittsburgh 9th of April 1832.

Office P.M. Pittsburgh 10 April 1832
By the letter of Mr Edwards of the Pension Dept t . Washington, to Mr John Pease, dated the 24 th Nov. 1831, it appears that "the papers must be presented to the Pension Agent at Pittsburgh who will certify to the character of the Surgeons and send them to this Department."
The extent of this Agency is such that it is entirely out of my power to be acquainted with the standing or reputation of the various Surgeons and Physicians practising within it; but the above certificate from D. M'Calla Esq r of this city, known to me as a gentleman of considerable veracity, perfectly satisfies me that the Physicians above named, are fully such as they are represented to be. A.
