Sir
Yours of the 28 th inst in relation to Mrs Hayward's Pension Certificate & your late action in the premises is received.
I learned also from Mr Angel yesterday the purport of her Affidavit to which you alluded. I would suggest that your order to the pension Agent to pay over her money be countermanded for the present & that I have an opportunity to be heard in the premises. The truth is the old lady has been greatly imposed upon by a Russian son of hers with whom she resides & through whom all my business with her has been transacted. The facts briefly are that the son employed me to obtain her pension for her mother. He is an opulent farmer. I have a written contract signed by him as agent for her mother by which she agrees

to pay me $100, on my procuring for her a pension. I was to be to all the expense & in case I failed I was to make no charges against her On my part I have fulfilled this Contract I proposed to do her business for her for any reasonable compensation provided she would agree to meet the disbursements this She or rather her son utterly refused to do insisting on my running the whole risk & expense &c. Now at this time I had had no experience in this business & was entirely ignorant of the evidence that would be required to establish her Claim Nor ought I know indeed I supposed it would be necessary to go to a distant part of the State to obtain proof of her marriage & by possibility my attendance might be necessary at Washington in order to establish her claim. This Con- -sideration I held forth to her son as a reason why I could not undertake her case for a less sum than $100. I did not represent to either that this expense would necessarily have

to be incurred nor did they so understand me. The son or her wife who were present did not swear so and the old lady would not but for the fact that it had been beat into her as truth by them. As to the pay I have never insisted on the full amt $100. I have offered to deliver up her certificate on the payment of $60. I have requested them to pay me any amt that they deemed reasonable in that case I would abide by the decision of their own lawyer as to whether as to whether they should pay me any more. Then the son would not permit her to do that he once intimated he would give me $50. for my services but not in such a way that I considered it a proposition nor do I believe he would have stood to it had I accepted it since then she has sued me in the Supreme Court of the State for the recovery of her certificate which suit is now pending Since bringing which her atty Wilks St. Louis has offered me $60. by way of settling up

whole matter. which I refused in consideration of the trouble & expense incurred in defending said suit - I offered however to take $70 There was about 6 weeks since - I yesterday after the receipt of your letter called on the said Angel and offered to comply with his proposition before made - he refused. I then offered to settle with him give him up the certificate for $60 this he refused - These are substantially the facts which I can establish by my own affidavit and will do so if the drawing of this money can be delayed a sufficient length of time to enable me to do so. It seems to me if I have no lien on this certificate for my pay of which I am so well satisfied I have concluded to risk a suit upon it my rights should not be rendered valueless by the action of your department. I understand that they are about to execute the necessary papers to draw this money under your instructions - hence I give you this brief statement and will await your reply before making affidavits &c. I have been put to considerable expense in and about this business & as yet have not received the first cent in return & what is more never shall if they are permitted to draw this money without complying with the usual forms your obedt Servt M.

Mrs Margaret Hayward the Widow of Josiah Hayward a notary public has applied to me for a part in regard to an application made by her some two years ago for a pension. She resides in Belfast in this County, and employed one William Tillett to do the business for her he tells her that he has procured a certificate for her at $96 per year but refuses to exhibit it to or deliver it to her unless she pay him $100. in advance. If a certificate has been granted to her can she procure from the Department a duplicate or a copy. An early reply will much oblige her.

one morning in may I heard a poor Damsel v. sith and complain how she longed for corn being the choicest of grain I steyl unto her & it was my will to ask her indeed if she stood in any need of the grain that is called the wanton seed O then said she if you are the man that so makes my poor heart more gladder than one if you are the man that can do this deed Send so my barren meadow with your wanton seed
one morning in may
I sowed it in so high & I sowed it in so low That under her apron this corn it did grow It grew so very high & without any need That she often commended me for my seed
When harvest was gone & past Then fair Damsel grew large in the waist She often to me did sith and complain how she had taken too much of the choicest of grain

When this comes it will soon be on my She sent for me with my musical life I played long ago at the other side of the in the play, me the the Juggernaut My love to love in paternal hall I pray you pray that I write soon to all Can't you write soon, not you very well and all of Dick Edward Boy's average
