Sir
I have been employed as agent in the cases of Mr Timothy Brewster & Jehiel Chapman of New York both applicants for pension under the act of 7 June 1832. Mr Brewster is still living, Chapman died in 1838, but has a widow yet living, not having a history of neither of these claims I would respectfully ask that I may be permitted to examine the papers on file with a view to furnishing such further proof as may be required by the Office to establish the claims. Mr Darius Howard who was pensioned for $20. per annum, also alleges he says in his orig- inal declaration to have performed much more than six months service for which he has been allowed. If I may be allowed also in his case to examine the papers with a view to proving his allegations all the parties interested will be greatly obliged
Very Respectfully Your obt Servant Nathan Scate
