Dear J. C. Calhoun Secretary of War.
Dear Sir,
Enclosed are the papers of Jacob Hunsicker a revolutionary soldier, applying to be restored to the Pension Roll under the act of March 1st 1823. With regards to the merits of the application permit me to say that if any case is within the meaning of the act, I believe the present one to be so. For the applicant is not only reduced in his circumstances, but on account of his advanced age & infirmity is unable to support himself. And his wife the only part of his family now remaining with him has been confined to her bed & wheels the greater part of the time for nine months past. If the case of the applicant as stated in the papers enclosed do not entitle him to be restored to the roll, it will be owing to my apprehension of the requisits thereof rather than to the demerits of the application. Please direct the certificate of his restoration, or other communications to me, at Aurora, Cayuga Co. N. York.
I am with the greatest respect your humble servant.
Franklin D. Vinne
