Sir,
I have again to trouble you, on the subject of a pension certificate for E. House. He enclose his application agreeably to the printed forms furnished by the War Department, and this is all the voucher he can furnish. He was originally a pensioner of this State, and transferred from the State, to the United States, Roll, and now of that class of pensioners, had any certificate, notification, or any thing of kind, until the late regulation requiring formal certificates in all cases, since which time he has not been paid, and previous to which it was only necessary to make out of his identity to receive his pension; he cannot therefore furnish anything, in compliance with your instructions of 21 June last, to me, requiring, "either the original document on which he was last paid, or a certified copy of it," but what is now enclosed. — If you think proper to issue a certificate you will please forward it to "Elias House, Sourbore Union County, Ill s " and advise me, of the fact; Be pleased to favour me with a reply. — Respectfully, Your Very Obedient Servant D. A. Davis
A. S. Edwards Esq.
