Sir
Israel Dean a pensioner of the United States, and a resident of this County has become so infirm in consequence of extreme old age that it is impossible for him to attend at the office of the agent for paying pensions in New York. And his mind is also so totally impaired by the same cause that it is not proper that he should, indeed he cannot, give a power of Attorney to receive his pension money from the agent. Will you please to inform me what steps it is necessary to take to obtain his money under these circumstances, and if it is necessary to have a guardian appointed please inform me what it is proper to possess the power under the regulations of the Department, and the mode and manner of obtaining the appointment.
Very Respectfully Yours & etc.

Sir I had the honor to tidup a letter to you some time ago, inquiring what proceeding are necessary to procure the appointment of a Guardian in order to enable a pensioner of the U.S. to obtain payment of his pension, who is incompetent to execute a power of attorney in consequence of disability of mind. I stated in my communication that I wished to get a Guardian appointed for a pensioner of the name of Israel Dean of this County who is thus situated — In your reply to my communication, dated the 29 th April 1875 you stated that no such name could be found on the roll of New York pensioners.
Since the receipt of your reply I have ascertained that a mistake was made in the name of said Dean. His name is Isaac Dean and not Israel Dean. You will

undoubtly find the name of Isaac Dean on the Pension roll and you are respect- fully solicited to transmit to me the neces- sary instructions in relation to the appointment of Isaac Dean & and the Court by which the appointment may be made. If you have forms, please transmit them with instructions -
(The mistake in the name arose from the illegible manner in which it was written.)
Very Respectfully Your Old servant Albert Lockwood
