Dear Sir
I herewith return the Case of John Campbell for a Pension, which was sent back because the Clerk had omitted to certify the opinion of the Judge as to the amount of property contained in the schedule of s d Campbell. The Clerk has amended his certificate agreeable to the record as you will perceive; in fact it was nothing but an improvident, and was supposed an immaterial omission of the Clerk in the first place, and I trust no other defect or difficulty will present itself to prevent this old Soldier from receiving his Pension; If Mr. Campbell should be allowed a Pension, I would thank you to advise me of it as early as possible. With Sentiments of Respect I remain Your Res d Sec y !
