Sir,
Nearly two years ago I forwarded the request of Abner Warren, Serg t Major, a pensioner on the roll under the law of 18 March 1818. & continued under the law of 1. May 1820 - to be put on the roll under 7 th June 1832, as a Sergeant, & then be dropped from the other roll - His original Certificate is No. 5709 - I sent at the same time the request of John Dain for the same purpose - Dain's new Certificate was ad d . to Mr. Vose & has been received. - In your printed circular which I rec d . for answer - I was told that soon as pension cases could be acted on they would be attended to - but on the margin of the circular it was written that Warren's case should be acted on the then next week - I presume that from the multitude of applications, and communications respecting them Warren's case may have been accidentally overlooked - May I be allowed to solicit your attention to his case, & to forward me a certificate for

him under the law of 7. June 1832 as a Sergeant. He has been paid up to the last payment at the rate of $8. per month.
I am Sir
very respectfully,

The Commissioner of Pensions.
Sir
I am requested as the friend of Mrs Sarah Harmon widow of Alva Harmon a Revolutionary Soldier, to inquire whether any such payment has been ordered or allowed by you to her previous to the granting of her Pension dated Feb 3 d 1855. The matter has been put into the hands of an agent.
Yours &c John J. P. Reavis
