To the Commissioner of Pensions in Washington City
The object of this letter is to inquire of the commissioner
of Pensions of the claim of Edy Tuck in
the right of her husband John Tucks revolutionary
services has ever been allowed & paid to any person, the
claim was, as I thought established some time ago
& forwarded on by Jno B. Stovall of this County & State
I can get no satisfaction upon the subject from Mr Hovallif
the evidence is not sufficient to establish the my claim
(if it has not been allowed, I can get sufficient testimony
to establish it beyond all question, to wit his services in
the Army, his going & return from the Army & also his
discharge, the record of our marriage date of to
if any testimony yet is wanting will you be so good as
to let me know what is necessary to establish the claim
in addition to the testimony already produced, I am
old & infirm & in very needy & destitute circumstances
if I am entitled to any thing for my husbands serve
to get it, otherwise I shall be compelled to
become a pauper, for I am unable to support myself
I dont pretend to charge Mr Stovall with any thing wrong
in the matter, but think it strange he has become no
in different upon the subject lately & I can get no certain
information from him about the matter, direct your
answer to Scottsburg Halifax County Virginia, your
compliance will confer a great favor upon an old an
destitue woman,
