Dr. Sir
I received a letter a few days ago from the Hon. R.J. Johnson, enclosing a pension certificate for Elizabeth Wyatt, under the Act. of 1838, allowing her forty dollars a year for five years; there is certainly a mistake in the amount allowed. her Husband was placed, on the pension roll, the 25th Nov. 1819, and was allowed 96 dollars per annum. If therefore seems to me that if she is entitled to anything, she would be entitled to the same amount that was allowed her husband under the Act of 1818. Will do some [illegible] [illegible] and inform me whether a mistake occurred in inserting the amounts, and if so what steps will be necefary (necessary) on her part to procure the amount to which she may be entitled.
