notable item/thing
present return of pensions operates unequally in many instances
many were considerably recovered
invalids of the other states are in a similar situation
expediency of a general re inspection of all the invalids paid by the United States
honored with your favor
enclosing a resolve of congress
information of the subject of the late inspection of invalids in this state in reply to which it will be proper for me to inform you the only object that induced the appointment of the committee was to inspect such as have been heretofore considered as invalids
passed the inspection required by Congress
all new applications have been refused in the committee
inspection of Invalids
others are supposed to be dead
improper to admit them unless there should be a special act of congress
as to the payment of the invalids you may rest assured that I never had any idea of paying a single one who is not included in the return for which I have your warrant
return of the invalids of this state
