Isaac Price - Served two years - See record of 240 - In reference to the records of the county court of Green County, I found that Price, had been drawing a Pension since 1798 - This fact together with information from gentlemen of integrity, satisfied me, that there is nothing wrong in his case - under these circumstances, it was deemed unnecessary to see him personally.

Dr Sir,
I presented today the inclosed paper to the pension agent of this place, who informs me that in consequence of the pension being in arrear for three years, it is necessary to transmit it to the War department. On the 2 d of March 1827, I received while I was a member of Congress, from the department, a certificate in lieu of one dated the 23 d Feby 1796, & this renewed certificate remained in my possession from that period until sometime during the last summer, which circumstance may account for the delay in not sooner drawing his pension. The convention of which I am a member will probably adjourn in a few days, & I must therefore request you to direct the pay & transmit the paper to me at this place, as soon as possible.
Very respectfully
yours &c - W. Smith
