Sir,
Your letter of the 18th instant, enclosing the declaration of Isaac Dennison is received; stating that the evidence sent is not sufficient to establish his claim under the act of 7 June. 1832.
The evidence of his services etc. in the War Department. A letter dated May 26. 1829. at the War Department, Pension Office, directed to Thomas Stephenson, Esq. - signed by James L. Edwards, says, Mr. Dennison's papers will be placed on file in this Office. His pension Certificate is with those papers. He has been dropped on account of his property.
It is believed that Mr. Dennison's case comes under that part of the instructions, in these words. "In those cases where the applicants have once been on the pension roll, under the act of March 18. 1818, and have been dropped on account of property &c. and the evidence of service is in this Department, &c. instead of the above declaration, they will make a statement under oath of having been on the pension roll & struck off, &c. &c."
