I beg to call your particular attention to the case of Jacob Cock of New York 1832 admitted, there is an error in the allowance of the claim the evidence presented to the office shows that Cock was a Waggond master and not a conductor, the record shows he was a Waggond master and yet he is allowed a conductor without any kind of authority, I ask that the allowance may be made at the rate of $50 per month being the rate at which Waggond masters are allowed.
I am Sir Very Respectfully Jno Dorset
