He is therefore entitled under the act of 7 th June 1832. at the rate of $120. per Ann - after deducting what he received under the act of 18 th March 1818 -
Very respectfully Your Obedient.

Sir
enclosed with this are the necessary Vouchers for obtaining the arrear of Pension due to William Bone deceased, & inasmuch as one of the powers of attorney was executed more than ninety days since, I apprehend the Pension agent at Burlington, will refuse to pay without an order for the same, which if proper I wish to have made; the reason of the papers not having been sent to Burlington before this time, is a delay in the return of the power of attorney sent to Pennsylvania which is this day received
Respectfully yours
