If in presenting the request of Mrs Hastings, I have not followed the exact course usually taken in such cases, it is not for want of diligence in endeavoring to ascertain the right way; for I have applied, both at the Boston and Providence agencies for forms, and was unable to obtain any other than the preceding which were given verbally. Please order the necessary papers to be prepared and forwarded to my address. Mrs Hastings informs me that her pension for March and Sept 1847 are now due and undrawn.
