We the subscribers state it as our opinion that the real property belonging to Samuel Barrett of Immeria as far as is within our knowledge is worth or would bring in cash if he should become necessitated to sell the same the sum of seven hundred dollars and that he has stock of the value of three hundred and ten dollars. Mr. Barrett states to us that he is owing five hundred and sixty two dollars and has sixty dollars due him and that some years since he had his house burnt and everything but one bed left in it which is known by many of the people in this place that he now is and always has been a hard labourer more so than men in general under his circumstances his farm lies off from any public road and the situation of the land is such that it has required a great deal of hard labour to bring it into profit.

Samuel Barrett a Soldier of the Revolution & a Pensioner under the Law of 1832, has requested me to inquire why he does not receive the same annual allowance as he did under the Law of 1818. It seems by his statement that under the law of 1818 he drew $896 & now draws only $70. He wishes to know why the difference.
