Sir
I have the honor again to enclose to you the pension certificates of Richard S. Holden, & Isaac Tabbitts, for amendment together with Judge Collett's certificate exhibiting the precise day on which they made their original declarations. Upon inspection it will appear that the Judge has certified that Richard S. Holden, made his first declaration before him on the 5 th day of May 1818 , and that Isaac Tabbitts made his on the 23 rd day of May 1818 .
This I trust, will establish the time with sufficient positiveness & precision, in order that the certificates may be so amended, that the pensions will take effect, from these dates respectively.
Holden, has already exhibited a schedule of his property, and been

Continued. on the Pension Roll, Under these circumstances, allow me to enquire, whether or not his pension, will be paid up to the 4th of September. 1820, if the proper application is made for it at the Ohio agency subsequent to that date.
I am very respectfully
In your most obedt Servt
