The papers of Timothy Misp are again returned for want of satisfactory proof of his service as waggoner in the Continental-line for 3 years. The testimony which refers to that service is of the most vague and uncertain character, and connected with the indefinite statement in the declaration afford no ground for the allowance of any part of that period. Mr. Misp must either state the particulars of his enlistment and service, procure satisfactory proof, or relinquish this term; - in which latter event his other services will be taken into consideration.

The papers, relating to the application of Timothy Nix, were returned to me a few days ago, unaccompanied by any Letter or Circular. I observed written in pencil on the file, that the credibility of the witnesses is not certified. The witnesses, whose credibility is not certified, relate to the waggon service; (all the others being certified,) & the waggon service, You will perceive, is abandoned by letter of mine enclosed, & dated March 23. 1833.

As the Dept. considers the present testimony insufficient, & he has no further in his power to produce, I hereby, in his name & behalf, relinquish all claim on account of his services as a waggoner, hoping for a speedy & favorable action upon the residue. very respectfully

Sir,
The papers in support of the claim of Timothy Mix, have been examined. If he enlisted and served for a year, or more, as a waggoner upon the Continental establishment, he will be entitled to a full pension. It is, therefore, important that Mr. Mix should prove this service to have been performed as he states, by satisfactory testimony. If he fails in doing this, a pension can only be allowed for such period of service as is definitely stated, and properly supported.

The next spring he again enlisted and was with the Army at New York and in the vicinity of that place till December of the same year. And further the deponent says not
