My dear Sir
Enclosed I send other declarations for pensions of my Peery & Mrs Cameron. If the pensions are wanted please forward the certificates. Some time since, I sent you the declaration of Lepe Harper. It was accompanied with no proof, because he knew of none & I dare he expected perhaps, that his name would be found upon the rolls. Please let me hear from you on the subject
