I am aware that you don't answer mere letters of enquiry; but I hope you might letting drop the rule. About the 26 th Sept last I en- to your office closedly mail and Helicon in the same package Nancy Sweeting's declaration in widow of Lewis Sweeting a pensioner under the act of 1832 for a pension under the acts of 1835 & 1843, and Oliver Hale's application for the benefit of the act of 1843, she having drawn a year under the act of 1838.
As Mr. Wheaton is enquiring respecting Mrs. Hale's application, learned you office that it had not been rec- d. Is Nancy Sweeting's declaration rec'd? if so, is not Mrs. Hale's in the same package? I hope both will be found.
Please favour me with an answer that if not received I may take the earliest opportunity of renewing this paper. Yours truly
