Dear Sir
you say in your communication of the 19 th inst. that the department would not be authorized in granting a pension for more than one year (in the case of John Hall) I am therefore authorized to draw the inference that he will be allowed a pension for that length of time. I therefore enclose you his declaration and hope you will issue a Certificate for one year and enclose it to me. I am requested to retain all the papers in the department in the application of May Powell, his presented by me to the department some time since for a pension. As you will therefore please enclose them to me.
Yours respectfully
