Dear Sir J. L. Edwards Room of Tenebris Washington D. C.

Albany N.Y. Aug 16 1838
Sir
Mr John Dill whose pension Voucher I now enclose has not drawn his pension account since 4 th March 1836. By a law of last Session of Congress he must apply directly to the pension office for his money. I am not yet informed in what way he is to apply or what is the form of proceeding. I send his power of atty duly executed to draw the money in Albany not knowing but upon the receipt of it you give an order to the agent at Albany to pay. If not correct will you please instruct me as to the form of proceedings to obtain the money.
I have heard nothing yet in any answer to my request for you to issue a pension certificate to Benoni Reynolds for six months service. Will you please say what has been done in the matter?
I am Sir
Very Obedy
