Dear Sir In closed, I send you the application of Thomas Hearn a Soldier of the revolution, for a pension He is now quite infirm; but is a sober quiet and industrious man & I believe did serve his country in her struggle for independence. The accompanying certificates were obtained in 1819 for the purpose of making application for a pension under the former acts of Congress; but he was informed after he had obtained them, that his case was not embrace in the laws then existing. Therefore they were never used till now. He could not renew the one from Guthery for he is dead; he went to Jack a few weeks ago and got an other from him, but Jack forgot to put any date to it, for that reason I thought it useless to send it. The old man says he supposes the reason Jack forgot to date it, was, that they got into an interesting conversation upon the scenes of the revolution. I would further observe, that the applicant is poor, and I believe him to be a very honest man, and he is esteemed as such by all who are acquainted with him.
Yours very respectfully John W Jenkins
