Sir,
In August last I transmitted to your Department sundry documents in evidence of the claim of Sarah Abbot to a pension under the Act of Congress of 1838, allowing pensions to widows of deceased Revolutionary pensioners, in certain cases.
I subsequently received a copy of a printed circular from the Department recommending to applicants to wait a reasonable time before troubling the Department with enquiries as to the fate of their applications.
Not having the means of judging what lapse of time constitutes, in the estimation of the department, a reasonable delay in such cases, I take the liberty of enquiring if any and - if any - what steps have been taken in relation to the application of Sarah Abbot.
