Sir I enclose David Blue's affidavit applying for a change of the place of paying his Pension from Richmond in Va. to Lexington in Ky. — Blue's pension remained unpaid from 4 March 1821 till, some time last month, the application for every six months, (the application being informed) was the reason, this paper was not forwarded earlier. Not knowing but a change might in some way embarrass the arrearages payable at Richmond.
