J. L. Edwards Esq.
Sir,
I beg leave to trouble You with the inclosed letter of Mr Chatten Pollard formerly of N o now of Tumpson who it appears was once entitled to, and did draw a Pension. But the same has been withheld, or suspended since he removed to Tumpson. I hope You will do me the favour to examine into this matter with a view to his restoration, and inform me of the result.
I also inclose Mr Blackburns letter in relation to certain Papers therein mentioned. which papers I expected to find upon file in the Clerks office of the H. R. but am disappointed in that - and I have thought they might perhaps have gotten into Your office. I hope You will cause an examination to be made for them and inform me. Please return me the inclosed letters.
I am very respectfully Your obt Servt -

Mr. J. L. Edwards
Sir
Inclosed I send you the original warrant of Station Pollard, and his vouchers, power attorney & with a request that you will authorise payment to be made on them; Application was made on similar papers, unaccompanied with the warrant, in July 1836, but as there appeared to be a differance in the date of the copyed warrant and the books of your department payment was not authorised, = The warrant was copyed correctly, and the error was made in your department such being the case the warrant is forwarded for your correction, but as the error is not with us, it is to be hoped you will grant payment upon the papers, accompanying this letter, it is more desired as the pensioner intends returning to Tennessee where he now resides, in a very short time - Mr Pollard wishes a new warrant, and wishes payment after this , to be made him in the state of Tennessee - Should there be any error in the forms now enclosed, be pleased to send me such forms as is required, any additional information upon the subject, that you may be pleased to give will be very thankfully received by
Your O bl Servt Henry Pollard
