Hon George C Whiting Com: of Pensions Sir:
I herewith enclose several letters from Mr H Sheppard in behalf of Alfred Hearn and Simon Mills which you will please cause to be carefully examined. The applications, it seems, were made out some three or four years since by Mr Hearn, of Washington N, Carolina. They can learn nothing of the matter.
You will please cause a thorough examination to be made and inform me how the applications stand. Please return the enclosed letters. I have the honor to be
Very respectfully

Dear Sir
I am requested by Mr. Asaph Harker to ask if application has been made in my name through Mr. John S. Hawke of Washington for a balance due the heirs of Abram Harker died who served in the revolutionary war. Mr. Harker is a poor man and severely in need of the funds if he is entitled to any from that source, and he fears that Mr. Hawke has collected it and put it to his own use - An early reply will much oblige
Yours Respectfully W. Sheppard

Senate Chamber March 22 1858
Sir
It is suggested by a friend of mine in N.C that during the last Congress he sent me and that I filed in your office the application of Alfred Hardee asking a pension for the services of his father - I do not recollect about it - Will you be kind enough to have the proper enquiry made and if the application was filed what has been done with it and inform me.
Respectfully Yours. Asa Biggs

Dear Sir
In reply to a letter written by me some time since for Mr. Joel Hawkes you stated that Mr. Hawkes had made no assertion of a claim in favor of the heirs of Abram Hawkes dead who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Since receiving your reply Mr. Hawkes has been to see Mr. Hawkes and he informs him that the papers containing the evidence of his father's services were sent on to your department - and that he has received no answer from them since. Mr. Joel Hawkes is now the only living representative of Abram Hawkes dead and he has been informed that and believes that there are assets due for his father's services. He is quite needy and I have no doubt it is an honest claim. You would therefore confer a favor on him by giving some instructions how to proceed. The papers upon which he relies to establish his father's services were put in the possession of Mr. Hawkes, and he is informed by Mr. Hawkes that they were sent on to your office. He wishes to know if that is the case, and if there is any thing further for him to do - some early attention will much oblige
Yours Respectfully H. Sheppard.
