Sir, Middletown June 29 th 1882.
I return the hourly since Declaration trans- -mitted me for execution of the certificate under date of the 24 th inst. count, with the certificates attached. I am personally ac- -quainted with with all the applicants except the following persons, & with their circumstances, viz: Friendship, Isaac Foy, Daniel Gulpin, Abner Sale, Elijah Wrenn, John Smith, Eli Bigelow, Paul Dane, Nathaniel Lane, & Timothy Seran- -ton.
I know, in relation to nineteen of the applicants that they are poor, & that their circumstances are truly stated, in their respective depositions. In res- -pect of the ten persons above named, I have no doubt of their being in reduced circumstances. The persons who have testified to this fact, are well known to me, & of good credit, and the reputation of their low situation in point of property, so far as I have been enabled to ascertain it, confirms the truth of their assertions. . . . .
I am, very respectfully, your Most obedient Servant, J. Titus Hoxsey Honorable J. C. Calhoun
