Mr Bailey lately died and there was due to him about $40.00 or a little upwards He left no Widow (his wife dying a day or two before him) but several children (adults) and they scattered about in different parts of the country. Some of them living here. Mr Bailey left debts to a small amount unpaid including funeral expenses & expenses of the last sickness of himself & wife. and the pensions due him being about all the means of paying said expenses & debts. You will confer a favor by indicating the course to be taken to obtain the money.
It will probably be well to add that the children here & with whom he lived are desirous that the amt due should be applied in that way when

it is obtained.

In enclosed is a declaration
of Antony Haley Which has been sent back With the Indorsement as you see we suppose as there was a mistake in the captain's name in the first instance was the cause of his not getting a pension. You will now see there is an affidavit at the bottom of Samumah Norman stating that he belonged to an other captain which we think will secure him a certificate you will please have this acted on as soon as possible
