Wm. Cutting Esq.
Sir
Some time during the last Session of Congress, Thomas R. Gold Esq. left in the office to which you are attached, some papers relative to the claim for U. S. Military Bounty Lands in Right of the late Capt Jeremiah Hogeland . The letter which you wrote to Mr. Gold relative to the same is now before me. In it you state "that there is no evidence to prove that the present Applicants are the only legitimate heirs, If you Sir, will give a certificate to that effect, to be deposited in the office as a voucher, it will be satisfactory but otherwise they must procure and forward to this office a regular certificate from the Judge of Probate, or other Competent Authority, before the warrant for their Land can be issued". I now send you the certificate of Ezra Lockwood that there had been no letters of Administration taken out. I think also if you look at the bottom of the power of Atty. in your possession, to Mr James Sackett, you will see the certificate of Philip Pell Junior Master in Chancery, (an officer in our state appointed for such purposes) that the persons in that power are all the Heirs of Capt. J. H. - at any rate it was intended to have been done so. as it is a fact that they are all the Heirs. If however you should not be satisfied with the papers, that will now be before you, please to return to me the power of Atty. that that certificate may be sent to you without further delay - owing to the absence of Mr J. Sackett this has not been attended to before. Your Obedt Servt.
