34 So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.
35 He hanged also Nicanors head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.
36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus day.
37 Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make an end.

38 And, if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired; but, if slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto.
39 For, as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone, and as wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste; even so, speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that read the story. And here shall be an end.

Dear Sir
I herewith enclose you the declaration of W m . Sarah Clampet who has come forward as you may see by the declaration she has made in open court and has set forth the evidence and has proved as far as she has living witness to do so. She has before sent the family record which I suppose you have in your office. She must certainly claim under the Act of 1832 June 7 th or 1836 - which you can ascertain by reference to the case of Iovey Clampet as his name I have no doubt can be found on the files of your department the time they were married and the time he died have been clearly shown and she has never had the benefit a pension since which has been 33 years and of course will be entitled to another of pension. She has for 30 years been supporting a daughter of hers that is an idiot by her own labor and will not suffer her to be come a cent's charge. Your honor will please examine in the case of the above claimant and enclose as soon as ascertained what is her fate and if there is

any deficiency in the declaration and I will make every exertion to obtain the claim of the distressed widow
Very Respectfully Your humble and obedt Servant Chas. H. Safford

Be it remembered that on this twenty seventh day of October A.D. 1820. personally appeared Sarah Blompet of said County before me James Gillespie — a justice of the peace for said County and being also a one of the justices of the peace Court of Pleas and quarter Sessions in and for the same County and the said Sarah being duly sworn deposeth and saith that she is the Widow and legal representative of Govea (or otherwise spelled Govey) Blompet late of said County deceased and that she is the same Sarah Blompet mentioned in the letters of administration herewith annexed and to whom administration of the goods, effects, rights & credits of the said Govea Blompet has been granted by the said County Court of Blount — That she was informed by her said husband in his life time that she believes the same to be true that he was a regular soldier in the Army of the United States for upwards of three years during the Revolutionary War in the Revolution North Carolina Line on the Continental Establishment — That he was in the Regiment commanded by Col. Mobane as well as she recollects but does not recollect who were the other officers and even as to Col. Mobane she may be mistaken; However this affiant states that on or about the fifth day of June in the year 1818 as the said Govea informed her and she has no doubt but is true he

then under the then late act of Congress got  got  for  for allowing pensions to poor Revolutionary soldiers got his papers made out and forwarded to the War Office of the U.S. for his claim to a pension under said Pension Law - That afterwards on the 5 th day of November in the said year 1818 the said Govea died in said County as more certainly is confirmed by the affidavit of William Steele her recent annexed - That afterwards this affiant was informed that a pension was allowed to the said Govea on the original applica- tion once the pension Certificate was enclosed once sent on from the war office to the Bore & once into the hands of James Durk Esquire in Maryville in said County for the said Govea - That said this affiant then applied to Esquire Durk for said Certificate who informed her that he had received said Certificate from the War Office and that on receiving the same once then hear- ing of the death of the said Govea, he did not know what to do with it and thereupon enclosed it and sent it back to the War Office - That consequently this affiant cannot state the number nor date of said pension Certificate but from information she feels certain that such Certificate did issue for the benefit of said Govea; and that he was the same Govea Blomquist who was her husband and whose legal representative she now is and that she believes that at the time of his death there was due on said Certificate
from the U.S. about five months Pension to wit from about the 8 th of June the time of application if she is not mistaken as to that date until the 5 th of November the time of his death - This affiant further states that after said Certificate had been sent back from as afterwards Esquire Durk having business at the City of Washington she re- quested him to see about the business of said Pension and get what was coming for her; that on his return he informed her that she must administer on the Estate of said Govea once apply at Knoxville accordingly she did once applied at Knoxville at the Bank and was informed by Mr Lee the Cashier that Govea Blomquist, name was not returned to that office on agency as a pensioner, or words to that effect once therefore she could get nothing there - This affiant further states that she has never received any part of said Pen- sion nor has sold or disposed of any part of it and she is also certain that her said husband never received any part thereof in his life time - she lastly states that her said husband when he died left six children all of whom are living with her once some of them are very helpless and that she is very poor once needy
