Mary Weed's
Suspended notice
of her application for Bounty land
Act 3rd March 1833
Page 12

Sir
Pension Office
Jany 6. 1857
The additional evidence in support of the claim of Mary Weed for bounty land, being only proof that her husband was a pensioner of the State of So. Carolina, is not regarded as evidence that he served in the Revolutionary war in the manner and for the time requisite to entitle her to land under the act of March 3d 1855.
The office of the Comptroller, at Columbia, contains
evidence of payments for most of the service performed under authority of that State, during the Revolutionary War.
I am, Very respectfully,
Your Obedient servant
Geo. C Whiting
Commissioner.

Dear Sir
After many applications to the different departments of Office at Columbia and failing to obtain any valid evidence of the services of Andrew Wele I examined the Records myself & find indents and Receipts of his services as per copy of which herewith enclosed
claim for Bounty land under act of March 30, 1875, is No 250, 157 dated Nov 11th, 1836.
I hope you will now send me her Warrant immediately on reception of this, and please state what amt of Pension per annum is due her from the evidence of Service of her husband as shown by copy of Records Hoping to receive your favorable reply soon.
 I Remain

Commissioner of Pensions

Dear Sir
I have furnished you herewith proof the identity of Mary Reed as the widow of Andrew Weed
 Revolutionary Soldier and Pensioner of the State of
South Carolina Abbeville District. But owing to some carelessness we have lost the only suspended notice from you which was numbered: Therefore, enclose you one without No and beg to ask of you the favor of hunting up the case from that. I am truly sorry that the No is lost but hope as you cannot have many suspended claims of Revolutionary widows and can be closely employed all taken together that you will find a substitute to the No. 
Please attend to the matter as soon as the nature of the case will admit and return to me at Andersonville S.C.
-
Hoping soon to receive your favorable reply I
remain yours very truly-
& fraternally,
