Enclosed you have the papers, referred by you a day or two since, in the case of J.

This claim has been rejected by two of my predecessors, and it ^is^ not my habit to review their decisions. I must, therefore, respectfully decline
any action in the case.
Very RespectfullyYour obedient ServantC. JohnsonHon: Jno: R. J. DanielHouse of Representatives
