Pension Office, May 28 th 1859.
Sir
In answer to your letter of the 25 th Instant in relation to the claim for arrears of pension of the heirs of Daniel Dical. I have to state, that On the 26 th March, 1819, a pension of $16. per Annum was allowed under the Act of 18 th March, 1818, to commence September, 8 th 1818, to Daniel Dical, of North Carolina. His name was dropped from the pension roll under the Act of 1 st May, 1820. On the 9 th of April, 1821, his name was restored to the roll. Our books show, that he was paid his pension in Semi-Annual payments to September, 11 th 1834, at which time this Office ceased the practice of making entries of this character. I have no means of determining to what period after Sept: 4 th 1834, his pension was paid. There is no doubt he was justly entitled to the pension allowed him under said Acts to the day of his death.

Sir.
Three of the enclosed claims for pensions which appear to have undergone an examination at the pension office viz. Tearns, Dials, and Simmons were forwarded to me by the Hon ble Lewis Williams of the House of Representatives, with indorsements thereon pointing out the deficiency in their testimony &c.
These old revolutionary soldiers have undergone an other examination before the Hon ble Judge Paxton who has subscribed his Certificate with the seal of his court and handed the papers to me with a request that I would forward them to the proper office which I have accordingly done —
These men flatter themselves with a hope that their testimony &c. will be sufficient to cause their names to be inscribed on the pension list or Roll of the United States. It will be gratifying to them to know the result as Early as may consist with the convenience of the office to whom their claims are addressed. Should they succeed in their expectations I am not apprised of the means or Rules by which they will receive information. Therefore cannot inform them. Should to be by mail that Certificates or Pension warrants should be forwarded. to Scullcamp Postoffice will be most convenient
While Congress are in Session some Honorable Member of that body generally send their aid in this sort of business. But no such opportunity will offer in the recess. an other Claim (Towt) John Braine whose Declaration &c taken before the same Judge is also enclosed.
