Sir
On presenting the enclosed power of attorney to the pension agent here, I was informed that, as more than 12 months, arrears of pension are due, he must have your direction to pay it, & advised me to forward it to you for direction to have it paid -
Three other powers & declarations have been at different times made out & presented in this case (within my own knowledge) all of which were informal & of course sent back. At the earnest solicitation of a friend of Mr. B. B. B. I sent up myself to take this power about 12 m. as there was no one in his neighbourhood accustomed to

to as such writing. Have the delay in obtaining the pension in arrear. -
very respectfully Yours oblt
V. Ellis
P.S.
As we shall remain in Japan only a few days please answer this as soon as convenient & address the ap't here. Yours &c V.E.
