Sir,
I send herewith the application of George W. Cady for the amount due him (as is supposed) on account of his father's revolutionary services -
No proof of his father's services is now sent for it is supposed that evidence of that fact is in the possession of the Department. Cady was, it is believed, in the continental Line - He also drew an invalid Pension, and it is hoped that the proof furnished to entitle him to that pension will also be deemed sufficient evidence of his services. If however, it shall be required that evidence of Cady's service be furnished before the son is entitled to the amount his father might have drawn, I hope I may be informed of it soon, so that I may take steps to procure it -
It will be seen by the enclosed certified copy of

David Cady's will. That his son G. W. Cady is entitled to all that was due to his father at the time of his death after paying a specified sum to each of the heirs, and to the his wife, and that after the death of the wife the residue bequeathed to her was to go to G. W. Cady. Mrs Cady died it appears after the will was made and before the death of David Cady.
It will be observed that the affidavit of Ezra P. Tallman, though sworn to is not subscribed by him - By the law of this state an affidavit is legally made if sworn to though it may not be subscribed to by the person making it - I am very respectfully -
Your ob t Servt
L. M. Drury -
J. L. Edwards Esq.
Washington D. C.

Canandaigua April 9 th 1846.
Sir;
The circumstances under which the accompanying papers are sent to you, require some explanation. I will endeavor to give it as briefly as possible.
Your letter to me of 28 th of Jan'y last in relation to the claim for services performed by David Cady in the revolutionary war, stated that "record evidence of David Cady's services must be produced before the claim can be admitted" and it referred me to the records in the public offices at Albany. In compliance with the suggestion contained in your letter I wrote to Albany and for a search. An examination was had and a certificate of service was given by Philip Phelps Dep. Compt. on the 4 th of March last, and a certificate of the appointment of officers by was given by Arch d Campbell, Dep. Sec. of State, on the 9 th of March. Although not required by your letter to furnish proof of identity still, as it was in my power to do so to a certain extent, I thought it might be of some importance to procure it. I therefore drew up an affidavit similar to the enclosed of James Hannan, and made reference in it to the original certificate of the Dep. Compt. which I intended to have

Mr Hannan Lee and read when he made the affidavit and I gave the affidavit & certificate to a man by the name of James McDermott, for him to carry to Mr Lapham, the magistrate as he was going to Mr Lapham's place of residence - Previous to putting the certificates into his hands. I made a copy of them, as I usually do of all such papers. That copy is the paper which accompanies these affidavits I send you.
When McDermott returned he informed me that the affidavit  had  not  been  made , and he did not return me the certificate, but kept them -
A day or two since my law partner, Mr Mallory, went to the town of Perinton & saw G. W. Cady the son of David Cady - Cady informed him that McDermott did take Hannan's affidavit - and he said further that McDermott made an effort to induce Cady to revoke the power of attorney formerly given to me, and to have Cady step substitute him in my stead - Cady did not do it, nor did he give him any authority to act whatever -
I mention these facts to explain the reason why a copy instead of the original certificate of given by the Dep. Compt. is sent. I suppose that the original, together with the affidavit of Hannan was sent to your office by McDermott. If it is in your office - by

referring to it you will find I presume that the copy I made is correct. I intended it to be so.
If the original Certificate has not been sent, if you would be good enough to inform me of the fact. I can send to Albany and procure another. Mr Cady gave me authority to prosecute his claim for him, and a power of attorney given by him was sent by me to your Washington and is probably in your office. He still desires me to continue my efforts to establish the claim for him. His father lived with him for many years previous to his death and was in a measure supported by him, and by his will, left him all his property after paying the other heirs a certain sum. A copy of this will was sent with G. W. Cady's declaration to Washington.
It has been nearly three five months since this claim was sent to you. Should the evidence now furnished be sufficient to establish the claim, if it is consistent with your regulations, I would respectfully request that the certificate may be transmitted to me very soon.
I am very respectfully
Your obt. Servt.
