I have regarded this as Two Val. Med. Reg. Shirts but as only one jacket.
This may be identical with Edmund Peak W. 824 but there is nothing at all by which to identify it with said claim, except that both soldiers were captains.

Dear Sir
I send you a document, which, after you shall have seen what it is I wish you to file in the War Office for me.
And you will much oblige me if you will enquire of the department, whether when letters of administration are taken out, as in the enclosed cases, the administrator is obliged to obtain the powers of attorney of all the heirs to get the benefit of the act of July 5 th 1832? And also, whether in making out the certificate of heirship, the adm. r must insert the names, residence, character, &c. of the heirs.
If you will attend to this little matter, & inform me as early as possible of the result, you will much oblige your humble servant—
H. Yoakum
Hon. David W. Dickinson—
P.S. James H. Barnes is out for resps—
