Sir.
I appeal from the decision of the Commissioner of Pensions in my case, on the grounds of misconstruction of the law.
My father Joseph Bindon, if he had lived to the 7 th June 1832 would have been entitled to a pension under the act up to the above date entitled "an act supplementary to the "Act for the relief of certain surviving Officers & Soldiers of the Revolution" which act relates back to 4 th March 1831; But he died a few days before June 7. 1832.
The Commissioner decides that as he did not live to the 7 th June 1832. I am not entitled to the amounts of pension which would have accrued from the 4 th day of March 1831 to the time of his death, or become payable payable to him by virtue of that act, if he had survived the passage thereof.
I claim that by the 2 d Section of the "Act granting half pay to widows or orphans, where their husbands or fathers have died of wounds received in the military service of the United States in certain cases, and for other purposes . approved July 4. 1836. I am entitled to the pension as the child of Joseph Bindon deceased.
J. D. Woodward Esq. was my atty. who applied for me, but he having surrendered the case into my hands, I enter this appeal, and you will hereafter please communicate with me
All which is respectfully submitted
I am yours &c. Joseph Bindon

Kirtland he will give me no satisfaction if there is a bill passed on me therefore my Dear Sir have mercy upon a poor man and give me some information Joseph Binsdon
