Franklin Co. New York 
July 16th 1845. 
Sir:  Enclosed is the Declaration of Hannah Adams, the widow of Isaac Adams and a resident of this town, for the purpose of obtaining a pension under the act of Congress of 1838 and the subsequent acts continuing the benefits of that act to certain widows. The certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Vermont showing the kind and periods of the service of her husband is annexed to the Declaration.  A number of affidavits accompany these, proving the identity of the parties, the marriage and death of her husband. It will be seen that there is no record of the marriage, but it is proved by an eye witness and such parts and circumstances as the case admits. 

This old Lady and her son with whom the lives & who is himself an old man, have applied to me to present this case to the department, and I have undertaken it, although it is a business with which I am not familiar. 

It is perhaps unnecessary to add, that like too many of the vulnerable survivors of the Revolution the applicant is in very humble circumstances, and for this reason, it is hoped the application will be attended to and the pension granted, if the is justly entitled to it, without unnecessary delay. If it is necessary for me to procure reference they will be procured. Please notify me and   
I am respectfully 
Yours truly 
John Hutton
J. L. Edwards Esquire 
Comm of Pension
