Mr Edwards,
Sir
In granting the pension to Mr Elyab Hindricks there was a mistake he ought to have been placed on pension from the date of his original application which was not done, but a later date assumed - I ask that something like a supplementary certificate be given him to draw his pension from the date of the original application till the date placed on his Certificate, and then the Certificate made as far all accounting pay - his distance, and the risk of transmitting his Certificate for correction in the warren I ask this favor.
Very respectfully Yours
J. L. Edwards Esq
John Scott
Issue a new Certificate with these words on the margin: "This certificate issued in lieu of one dated which allowed the pension from a date subsequently to the original declaration, which was incorrect. Should the pensioner apply at the Agency for his allowance, he must present the first certificate to the Agent, in order that it may be cancelled."

For Hon John Scott.
Mr. Hendricks is desirous to know whether on the enclosed he can draw a pension from the date of first application, if so that Mr Scott will inform him how he must proceed in the matter; That Mr Scott will at all events write to him — direct to Louisiana, P.O. box 100 care Genl.

Dear Sir:
Could you tell me when Elijah Hendricks served in the Revolutionary War? He was born I think in 1758 in Amelia county, Virginia. He died Sept. 11, 1830. He drew a pension till his death and his wife, Nancy Hendricks, then drew it. She was born Feb. 9, 1761, but do not know when she died. They were married on the 27th of October, 1785. He was wounded in the thigh. Probably enlisted in Kentucky or Tennessee, and at one time was under Col. Morgan. He lived in this neighborhood before he died. I think his wife's pension came through St. Louis. He had several brothers, among them were Wesley, Johnson and Moses. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, beg to remain Yours very respectfully,
Jesse C. Huckstep
