I See by the Daley[Daily?] Globe, Washington Wednesday June 11/56 by Mr Fuller & Mains[?], the memorial of Governor John Francis of the Passamaquoddy Indians, for a pension in the right of his father, Joseph Francis formerly Governor of said Tribe, for extraordinary and meritorious services rendered during the Revolutionary war in behalf of the Colonies, (Mr John Francis was here & wished me to inquire what was done on the above, & if you have any knowledge about it please write me and I will inform him what you know about it, would like to know what they done with the above memorial, & whether he was allowed a pension or not, if any, how much, I suppose you think he could get the above information from Mr Fuller, & I told him the same, but he shook his head & wanted me to go & see him, but I refused, this was some time ago, sed [said] he did not know how to talk with such great men, I once voted for Mr Fuller but he has changed his views, when I voted for him, I supposed he would vote against oppression of every description, but I find I was mistaken in the man, & I am not alone, Mr[?] [?] ses I have changed, not they, O no, their principles are the same, & they undertook to make me believe that they did not want slavery etc but I think they failed to convince me any such thing
