Sir at the earnest request of Ebenezer Carr (late a pensioner of the U States for Revolutionary services) I take the liberty to address you on the subject of his pension. His papers were made out some time in the Winter of 1820 & 21 since which he has not heard any thing respecting them except by a letter from Mr Edward in answer to one addressed to you in which he the U States that you were absent from the seat of government and in your return the papers would be laid before you — Mr Carr's Circumstances are such that he is very anxious to know the fate of his papers — his health for the year past has been very poor and I am infor- med by his one of his neighbors (a Mr Tiffany formerly Post Master in this Town) that unless he obtained his pension he would be under the necessity of applying to the Town for assistance —
Yours Respectfully
Wm. S. Fish
