Sir,
The enclosed papers of Mr. Jeremiah Bolt, I herewith forward in his behalf. He informs me that he has no recollection of having at any time heretofore, sent any or of any being sent on his behalf) in conformity to the act of 1820, to the War Department. If the enclosed be the first, it is presumed that they contain all that is requisite to render the same conformable to the said act of 1820. And that nothing more is necessary (by reason of lapse of time) for him to do now, than would have been requisite immediately after passing said act, in order to entitle him to be restored to his pension.
Mr Bolt is a man of temperate and sober habits, and sustains a good character. He is very infirm, poor and needy, and feels extremely anxious to ascertain whether there be any prospect of his receiving any further relief from his country for his revolutionary services.
Sir, I am with great respect your most obedt. Humbl. Servt.
