The enclosed application of Anthony Chevalier was forwarded under the impression that it had been examined & signed with others of the same nature — I have attached the opinion of the Court & signed the Certificate which had been omitted perhaps I have omitted the examination & signature to some others — But if they are signed they have been examined
The applications of Conrad Witter, John Minton, Anty Chevalier, Daniel Gill, & John Christopher Rudolph have been forwarded from this office those poor invalids live near here & I have not been able to inform them whether they will receive any information at this office as to the success of their applications — It would be of great service to them if they could be informed here of the decisions
