cified from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands, prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

13  This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty. 

14 Then Onias answered, saying, this is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people and for the holy city to wit, Jeremias, the prophet of God.

 15 Whereupon Jeremias, holding forth his right hand, gave to Judas a sword of gold and in giving it spake thus,

16 Take this holy sword a gift from God, with the  which thou shalt wound the adversaries.

17 This being well comforted by the words of Judas, which were very good and able to stir up valour, and encourage the hearts of the young men, they determined not to pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them and manfully to try the matter by conflict, because the city, and the sanctuary, and the temple, were in danger. 

18 For the care that they took for their wives and their children, brethren and kinsfolks, was in least account with them: but the greatest and principal fear was for the holy temple.

Pittsburgh Penn[a] May 3rd 1849
Hon. Sir
Herewith I send the application of Margaret Fife for the pension due her under the Act of June 17th 1844. On the 23rd April last I sent her an application for a pension under the Act of Feb 2nd 1848, coupled with an application for her back pension due under Act of 17th June 1844, since which time I have received a Pension Certificate for her to receive her pension under the Act of 2nd Feb 1848, but have received no Certificate for her back pension. 

Today I send her application for her back pension made out in a different form which I hope will not meet any objections, if perchance there be any to her other application.

The reason assigned by Mrs Fife for not having applied earlier of her pension under the Act of 17 June 1844 was that she had no knowledge that there were any provisions made for her to draw.

The widow is very frail & infirm & cannot survive  long to enjoy a pension, & it is hoped no unnecessary delay will occur in her receiving what is due her. 

Very Respectfully Yours
