Sir
I enclose to you Mr. Harmer's papers, with a copy of a deed from him to Peter Rowe Esq m together with the affidavit of Mr. Rowe & General Hall showing the disposition of a large portion of the property contained in Mr. Harmer's first schedule. The affidavit of Mr. Rowe alone, shews the disposition of more than enough of the property to bring Mr. Harmer within the provisions of the law of 1820 & 1823. - Owing to the length of time & the distance of the parties from each other it will be quite difficult & expensive for Mr. Harmer to shew the disposition of all his property contained in his first schedule by the affidavits of the purchasers. It is hoped therefore that the affidavits thereof of Messrs. Rowe & Hall will be satisfactory to the Department. If however they should not be please to inform me & Mr. Harmer will endeavor to satisfy them if they do not require impossibilities, as it is an undeniable fact that Mr. Harmer is as poor a man as there is in the town of Belfast that is not actually a pauper - If he should be pleased on the P.

To All whom it may Concern

Bridgton Maine, Jan'y 29th 1852.
Dear Sir
I write this to inform you, that my Father the late William Harrison of Standish in the County of Cumberland, State of Maine a soldier in Revolutionary War who served as a Musician in the first three years, & also in the year service; was placed upon the pension list under the first pension act that Congress passed, and by an act of Congress in the year 1820 was struck off from the pension list on account of his possessing more real estate property than the law prescribed (I have the circular in my possession notifying him of it) In about 10 years after the passage of this law his property became reduced, he applied a second time for his name to be placed upon the pension list and obtained his pension which he drew till his death which took place in December 1848. But meanwhile Congress passed a law repealing the act of 1820 leaving an amount 7 or 800 dollars due him which he never applied for. therefore it is due his heirs. And now Sir, what I wish to know of you is, what proof or evidence is requisite to be produced in order for his heirs to obtain this money in arrears.
Respectfully your obt Servt
Eli Harrison in behalf of the heirs of William Harrison

P. S. Please Sir to transmit an answer soon as you can examine the records and Address, Eli Harrison Bridgton Center Cumberland Co. Maine.
