To the Commissioner of Pensions,

Dr Sir,
At the request of a very excellent widow woman [relat] of Job Ingraham deceased I address you this letter of inquiry, having done no [ ] as an attorney in this [description of himself].

Job Ingraham was born at Gloucester Sept 15. 1775 and came to live in Thomaston in the County of Lincoln, State of Maine, to the time of his death- 
his wife, then Lucy Folman, now his surviving widow, was born in Stoughton, now Canton June 11. 1760 and they were married May 13. 1778.
He was in Revolutionary Service, in Maine, under a Caleb Lemons (or Lewis) ( think in a Company at Parkers Island at the mouth of the Kennebec River, Maine.
He applied for and received a pension as a Revolutionary soldier- the money was paid to Hezekiah Prince Esq of Thomaston
said Ingraham died some (over)
Page 6

8 or 10 years ago- and received his pension regularly down to the time of his death. Said Hezekiah Prince is also dead.
She, the widow, supposes herself clearly entitled to a pension in right of, or under her late husband that all that may be necessary is from her marriage- & that she is in truth the widow of said pensioner, in as much as the proof necessary to establish her claim must be on file at the department.
How is that? Is she entitled to a pension & if so under what act?
What proof is necessary? Wil you send me [ __ __] as shall be necessary? Is there a note on file all the necessary evidence in the case of sd Job Ingraham?
Very Respectfully, Ys
Henry C. Lowell
