To the Commissioner of Pensions
Hon Sir
The inclosed papers
have been sent to me. The object
of which you will see by the
letter of Judge Farnsworth to me.
It seems that the application of Hampton
Lovegrove for a pension was suspended
or rejected on the presumption that
he was so young that parent or guardian
was the one in interest. The question
presented is, whether if it can be proven
that he the said Hampton had no father
or guardian but acted for himself, the
case can be reviewed, with a view to
granting his widow a pension, as she
still survives. Or what must the
widow do in order to present this
case properly before the department.
Your obedient Servant
Alvah Sabin M. C.
