To the Speaker Offic. in the War Department.
I received a communication from the War Department bearing date Aug. 24. 1824. requiring further evidence upon the application of James Patten to be restored to the Pension-list. —
Enclosed is a part of the additional evidence required, and it is respectfully hoped that it will be sufficient to restore him to the list. —
The old gentleman has become too infirm to support himself by his labor, is extremely poor, and when he is known is esteemed one of the most efficient & meritorious private soldiers of the Revolution.
Respectfully. B. Story on behalf of James Patten. —

I Harry Train of Washington in the County of Cheshire in the State of New Hampshire do before me on oath say, that I have this day seen the Declaration of James Patten, by him subscribed and sworn before the Superior Court of Judicature on the 6th day of May 1824. and I am knowing that the amount which he receives after sale of his farm, and of the improvements thereon is correctly stated; with this exception only, to wit, the farm actually sold for four hundred Dollars, but the purchaser, who was my self, permitted Patten to remain on the farm for the term of one year from the 17th of April 1824. and there was deducted from the amount of sale the sum of twenty Dollars for the rent for that year, so that Patten in fact received the sum of three hundred and eighty Dollars only, in actual payment.
The foregoing knowing the above facts is that I was present and saw and know the whole transaction. Washington April 14. 1824.
