Sir I once more trouble you with a little about the claim of the widow of Andrew Conner. The famaly think that Andrew Conner applyed for a pension under the act of Congress of the 18th March 1818 and that he resided in Morris County in the state of New Jersey when said application was made. That his papers was purpourd by a man whose name was Joseph Jackson and they think the papers wore sent on to the War office, but some cause prevented the claim from being followed up and that Andrew Conner soon after left that place and died in Pennsylvania.
If the papers of Andrew Conner [illegible] received at the pension office and is on file than perhaps you may get some [illegible] to his service from them. I wish you would make search for these papers and let me know the result. 
I am Sir your obedent servant
