Dear Sir
Permit me to address you on the subject of George Hopkins a pensioner under the law of Congress of 18 th March 1828 who made an inventory of his property in Open Court in Sept 1820 a copy of which proceedings were sent to that office shortly afterwards and on the 14 th July 1821 it appears from the date of a letter signed by J. S. Edwards that on account of the amount of his property his name was stricken from the pension Roll - Mr. Hopkins feels himself very much aggrieved and is strongly of the belief that there must be some mistake either at the War Office or in the copy of the proceedings had in Court heretofore sent to that office by the Clerk of the Court - and after much solicitation of Mr. Hopkins I call d at the Clerk's office and got a Certified Copy of the proceedings here in his case which I know to be correct which is her enclosed - from which it appears that the total cost of his property is $178. 00 and no more, it also appears that a Note of $20. 62 1 / 2 which he mentioned of James Redman was call d by the Court $20. 00 it was well known to the Members of the Court that Redmans Note was not of any Value as Redman was worth nothing and had

absconded Mr Hopkins was advised not to inventory it but on the account of the oath he had to take thought it his duty so to do although it was in reality of no value Mr Hopkins is to my personal knowledge a worthy honest and upright man and is absolutely needy and here I ever believed him to be actually a proper subject entitled to the benefit of the existing laws I should not have troubled you sir again with his claim if it should be found that there has been a mistake with the Clerk of our Court heretofore, the copy here with sent is correct as I compared it with the original Record myself. and I am sir your Oble and humble servt the
