hundred and forty eight that she was the widow of Israel Nunnelly, that the said Israel

Dr Sir -
Enclosed in the declaration made by Mrs
Margaret Nunelly [sic] of this County for the purpose of obtaining a widows pension - as her late husband was a revolutionary pensioner, I presume the proof of his services
have been made before this, there will be no
difficulty in that respect-
Hoping for your early & favorable consideration of her claims, (as the old lady is poor infirm & blind & not likely to last long), I remain your obedient servant
