Randolph W. July 20th 1839-

Sir,
I inclose the declaration of Mrs Judith
Hardy claiming a Pension under the act of 1838
On refering to the Mass rolls the Department
may find the sd Saml Hardy did some other
service than the 8 mo. agreeable to Putman deposition but there is not any proof now to be found it the widow thinks he did another short tour.
I think as the papers or there can be no doubt 
she is entitled to a pension for 8 mo. service
Yours Respectfully
