Sir, In October last I wrote
to the then Sec. of War inquiring for papers which I supposed would intitle my nephew Horace Joel Corbee to a pension, those papers were received at Montpelier in this state, and it was reported that the case would be considered at some proper time and the petitioner then informed as to the event of his case but no information being heard from the War office, I wrote again to Washington, desiring to be informed what order had been made in the case, but no sort of answer hath yet been made.
It is now probable for me to conjecture what can have occasioned this delay. At the old Gazette-mam request I am again inclined to write upon the subject, and must beg of you to inform me as to the following enquiries. Have our papers been sent at the office? has admission been made in the case? if so what is that decision by attending to this request you will greatly

oblige the old gentleman who considers himself entitled to a pension, and who is infirm and in need of support
