He States that he has no documentary evidence and that the knows of no person whose testamony he can procure, who can testify to his services. He hereby relenquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State, & that he is unable from bodily infermity to attend the Court.
