Sir
In Feb y . 1847 I met the enclosed Power of Atty. in a letter addressed to Seth Haiman at White Water, Wisconsin supposed to be his residence. It never reached him, nor is his residence known. Last year it was returned to me through the dead letter office. Presuming it to be lost I some time ago procured the proportion of arrearage due to Mrs. Clapp & furnished the Pensions Office with in Boston with a Certificate of Court in due form setting forth the facts named in the Power of Atty - Mr. Stone the agent named in the Power is dead & the parties authorized me to insert the name of George H. Lyman. It was understood among the children that Mrs. Clapp was to have the benefit of all her mother's pension, she having been

at the expense of her support during life - If the unclouded Power of Atty. will enable her to avail of the proportion legally due to her brothers it will save her further expense in procuring a new Power of Atty from her brother debitors.
Respectfully yours affec'tly
Saml. L. Hinckley
P.S. An affidavit can be obtained that the residence of Seth Hemenway if he be living is unknown to Mrs. Clapp if her own affidavit be admissible.
