[undecipherable] 18th Apr.13.1792
I take the liberty to request that the opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, may be had on the following questions which have arisen respecting the construction of an Act passed during the present Session intitled "an Act providing for the Settlement of the claims of persons under particular circumstances been barred by the limitations heretofore established"
Whether the provisions of said acts will justify the Officers of the Treasury in admitting any of other military claims, than those of Officers & Soldiers of the battallions raised to serve for three years or during the late War — and in case other claims are admissable, to what descriptions of claims, the Act is to be construed to extend.
