J. L. Edwards Esq. Dear Sir:
Your favour of 17 inst was recd this morning correcting my omission to state where Isef Beckinsan resided at the time of his death and under what law he drew a pension. Isef Beckinsan first obtained a pension in 1818 (we believe that to be the time) he at that time resided in the Township of Northumberland Luzerne County Pennsylvania. Before Isef Beckinsan died he removed to South Ber- wick Township Luzerne County Penna and lived and died with me & his daughter who is my wife. The County of Luzerne has been divided or a new one erected from the northern portion of it called "Wyoming" County & The new County of Wyoming includes the Township of South Berwick where Isef Beckinsan resided at the time of his death.

Sir
The Pension of Jesse Dickinson was refused to be paid by the Pension agent in Philadelphia on account of some irregularities one was that it was not presented in timely days from the date of the Power of Attorney - the Power of attorney was given the fourth of March & the Old Man died on the 17th of March I think. It was drawn payable to me as attorney I presented it for Payment was refused, the family of the old man live all over it is inconvenient to go through all the routine of the law he left no Widow, & is in debt to the man that kept him during his sickness the is need & I have to request that

You will order the payment of it on Presenting the Power of attorney & his old Certificate of his being a Pensioner by so doing you will confer a great favor & save a great deal of trouble & it is very inconvenient to find all the family being very much scattered ————— You
