Hon I. L. Edwards Commission of Pensions Washington City Sir.
Several years ago I addressed a line to you on behalf of Mr Joseph Chanah a Revolutionary Pensioner who has lately come to the State of Illinois to reside for a new certificate he having lost his former one as he supposed in moving. Mr Chanah has since found his certificate and now wishes to receive his Semiannual payments in this State (Illinois)
It will appear by the enclosed papers that he formerly drew his pension at Cincinnati in Ohio. His last receipt was on the 11 th September last - consequently there is now due to him on the 4 th March 1852 $148.00 and his wish is that he may draw his money at the Agency in the State of Illinois and that the department will take measures for that purpose.
The old Man resides with a Son of his who is a very respectable man, and who has made the necessary certificate of domestication as is supposed.
The department will please to communicate with the Subscriber on this subject - and how are referred to Mr Howard of the Pensions department - Mr Reynolds & Mr. [?]

or to Judge Young & McRoberts of the Senate.
Most Respectfully Yours

Sir I have been applied to by Mr Joseph Chandler of Posey County in this State, procure a new copy of his Pension certificate he having lost his in moving from the State of Indiana to the State of Illinois and to ascertain where he can apply to receive his pension. He is one of the most re- -nable men I have ever seen, and one of the industrious - He subs on charity until he receives his pension - I have procured his affidavit of the loss of his certificate, corroborated by his son with whom he lives - I have no doubt of the truth of the facts he states -
Whether this evidence will be sufficient for the department to act upon I do not know.
If not I will thank the department to in- -form me what is required - If this proves to be sufficient, I should like to be informed where he must apply to receive his pension - Respectfully
