Dear Sir The enclosed Declarations are returned the second time I am sorry that you should have so much trouble with them - The Declaration of Beaumont was transcribed by the declarant, I presume it was a slip of the pen in certifying that it was taken in 1813 A mistake which I had not noticed, it was June 13 th 1818 that he made declaration before me The Declaration of John Gofet was transcribed by me and left with the Clerk for his Certificate he is confident that it was sent if left with him. I have transcribed it the second time and send it with his Certificate be so good as to examine them as soon as consistent with your rules of reexamination and send the pension certificates forward for they are very uneasy and Gofet would have before this time become a township charge had it not been for the credit that he has got in expectation of a pension With sentiment of esteem Your O bt Serv t Ezekiel Denning

The payment made to Samuel Benimer a Newly Rev'd in the Ohio-roll from the Hottsch R.D. to the Hottsch R.D. amtly £1692, was suspended for want of an order from the War Department to authorize the Agent to make the payment, four successive periods having expired, the suspension will cease when the Voucher is accompanied with the order, no other objection to the payment appearing on the statement of Differences

Sir:
Samuel Beaumont, a pensioner of the United States, at the rate of $8 per month, under the U.S. law of the 18 th March 1818, and whose certificate dated 21 st October 1819, shows him to be on the Roll of the Ohio agency, is desirous of knowing where he shall apply for payment since the discontinuance of the U.S. Bank, at Cincinnati. By endorsement on his certificate, payment was directed to be made at the U.S. Branch Bank, at Chillicothe, after the discontinuance of that bank at Chillicothe, payment was made at Cincinnati. Beaumont has been residing in this county for a number of years past. He is desirous of knowing whether payment will be made as heretofore at Cincinnati, or whether he has been transferred to some other agency. If an agency continues at Cincinnati, at what bank?
Very respectfully your obedt. servt.
