be ascertained by reference to the war Department
or muster rolls, the above applicant is a poor widow
and in her Eighty sixth year lame in her shoulder
at present, she therefore submits the case to your
Judgment for confirmation
To the Commissioner
Yours respectfully

Justice in my power in perfecty [perfecting?]

Dear Sir
Some time since I enclosed you
the papers of Martin Albich [Albrech], a revolu
tionary [revolutionary] soldier, you stated I think in a
letter to me on the subject, that from
the papers submitted there was bit[?]
evidence of two or four months service,
I forget which, & advised that further search
be made at Harrisby. that has been
done, and I am informed nothg [nothing] further
can be found, - will you be so good
if your depatmit [department], can give no relif [relief]
under the circustances [circumstances], tu [to] enclose me
the papers, with a brief statemet [statement] of
the objections tu [to] allowance by you, with
a view of asking the interference of Cungrss [Congress]
Yours [illegible]
