Dear Sir
Your letter of the 25th instant was received by this day's mail. In answer to your enquiries, I have to say that I have no memorandum in my possession of statements to be made by Mr. Timothy Now. by which he expected to receive a pension - that I was not a member of Congress in 1824. (my term expired in 1821) - that I remember Mr. Now called upon me for advice in regard to his application, and I believe he made a statement and sent on to Washington, yet I have no correct recollection in regard to the matter, further than his calling upon me at my house and asking my advice -
You can ascertain the fact of a statement being made out and forwarded by making application at the Pension Office Washington City.
I am &c
Respectfully
J. M. Richmond By C. M. Richmond

Hon Henry Putnam
Enclosed is declaration & supplement in the Pension case of Zipporah Hoskins formerly widow of Timothy How. It is understood that How applied before his death for a pension under the act of 1818. If so his papers are supposed to be on file at the Pension Office. If no papers are filed probably a letter from Hon Jonathan Richmond then a member of Congress from Cayuga Co will be found.
The records of this state show that Timothy How served in 1782 under Capt Prudence Brown & Lieut Abram Westfall, Col Weisfelts & was paid $16.00 & $5.31.
If the papers of Mr How or the letter of Mr Richmond should show that Mr How did not claim the above service I should like to be informed of it so as to save further expense in search of witnesses in that direction.
Will you request a thorough search in the case & an early answer. The enclosed letter from Mr Richmond I would like to have returned after the search is made.
Very Respectfully Yours A. L. Gaylord
Are there any rolls of Col Frazier in the Pension Office
