Case
York Tue. May 7, 1873
Dear Sir

I have addressed several letters
to you in relation to a balance due a widow
of a revolutionary pensioner at the time of her
decease & have received no reply thereto.
In the meantime, I have written in relation to other
Matters & received prompt replies,
Abigail Carlisle of York upon the pension
rolls at Portland, died Jan. 5, 1867, receiving
her last payment Sept 4, 1866. leaving a balance
of about 32.00 due her. A lawyer, in whose hands
the matter was placed, neglected to attend to it.
Upon application at Rutland, last week, I found
that her name had been dropped from the rolls,
but that the balance due, had never been paid.
I would request that her name may be restored 
to the rolls & the amount due, paid to Deborah
Preble her only surviving child, who now lives in
York, Hoping to receive a favorable reply. I remain
