Augusta, Me. Oct 18 1836-
Sir,
I enclose Mr. Moses Cass' power
Attorney for eighteen months pension due him.  The reason of his not receiving his pension as it becomes due from the Agent at Portland, is that the papers heretofore executed by him for that purpose were found incorrect.  This power has been presented and returned for want of authority from you to make the payment.  I returned it to Moses Cass to have another witness to his signature, and took the deposition upon the back of the power of
Mr. Joseph Kinsman who I know to be a respectable person & near neighbor to Mr. Cass.   Will you be pleased to return it to me, and order the agent at Portland to make payment,
Respectfully
Your obt Servt

of the Revolution for the term of about five years, and that from reduced circumstances I now need the assistance of my country for support.

Scammel
of the New Hampshire line.  I was at the battles
of Stillwater & at the capture of Genl. Burgoyne's army & I continued in the service for the term of three years, when I was honorably discharged at Danbury in the State of Connecticut.  I afterwards & before this time enlisted for sundry short time in once for nine months once for six months & one for
three thence for five months.  I have not my discharge in my possession & the last time I saw it was about twenty years ago, when I sent it to Boston by J. C. Page
late of Hallowell deceased, to enable him to procure
my arrear wages of pay, & I am unable to give
any further account of it.  I was placed on the pension list as will appear by a copy of the certificate of

Sir, 
I herewith transmit papers in order to have
the claim of Mrs. Mary Cass, widow of Moses Cass, to a pension under act of March 3, 1843 and June 17, 1844, allowed.  It will be noticed that she made a declaration before Probate Court in Somerset  County for the purpose of being pensioned under act of July 7, 1838, as the person of the act of Apt 30. 1844 will
have her claim under the act she has made a 
declaration before a magistrate claiming a
pension under act of March '43 & June '44 It is supposed her redeclaration before a Judge of a Court of record although not entitled under the Acts if it accompanied her declaration before a magistrate would be satisfactory and save him the trouble & expense of making another declaration before a Judge.  Should her expense be sufficient I would respectfully require you to allow her claim & certificate for 
Pen.
Very respectfully
