Sir

I have received and examined the papers transmitted by you in support of a claim for pension or arrears of pension presumed to be one the heirs of William and Martha White, the former a revolutionary Officer -

I find that pension has been allowed, under act
of May 15, 1828, up to the date of the death of William Smith. His children could, consequently, be entitled to no arrears in his right. You state his widow died in 1835. If this be so, nothing could be due the children in her right - no law of Congress having been
passed entitling widows of revolutionary soldiers to pension until July 4. 1836,

There is no friend for an allowance of any
kind in this case.

Very respectfully
&c
