Dear Sir,
  I enclosed two letters requesting my attention one in behalf of a widow Weaver. Whose claim said to be rejected, please let me know the ground of objections and if she claims under the Acts of 1836 or 38, as there is no other she can claim under, please send me a form with objections.
  The other is in behalf of a soldier of the ___ ___ William J Graham. It seems he applied for a Pension through ____ Sutton of Pittsburgh. If the papers were left in your office, please give me all the information, that the case requires. If not left with you, they may be in W. Hagen office. I do not know from Frazier letters on what ground the application is made- Please return both the enclosed letters.

Your immediate attention will much obliged
    Your friend __

Sir,
  Henry Weaver of Lancaster County Pa- during the War of the Revolution furnished supplies to Washington’s Army - and I understand after the war made claim on the government for payment.
  The claim may have been made by his heirs-
This Henry Weaver was Captain of a Company raised at the beginning of the War- He was a Miller owning several mills in the Eastern part of the County. Will you please inform me if there is a record of such a claim being made by him or his heirs-
  Yours very truly
  H M Weaver
