Sir,
M c Cowell, who lately visited Washington City, having informed me, that the doubts respecting the two Regiments commanded by Colo s Richmond & Lippett being entitled to a pension under the late Acts of Congress were removed, I take the liberty of returning to your Department the papers in the case of Daniel Cobb, and hope, that (if anything can be done for the relief of the Applicants who served in those Regiments,) his case may be early attended to; that he may enjoy the comforts, which a pension will afford him, for the short remnant of his life -
I am Sir, Your most Obed t Servant
Hon ble J. C. Calhoun.
