Dear Sir
Mrs Mary Minor a widow of this
place wishes me to write to the war department for
her. She is a widow and made application for
a pension under the act of 1832. She says her
pension was not granted for the reason that her
husband died since the passing of that act
she wishes now to enquire if she does not come
within the act of 1838 extending the time and
also if it is necessary for her to do any thing
more than she has done to bring her within
the provisions of that act. Her papers and on file
in the pension office & if she does not come within
its provisions she wishes to apply to Congress
of the act of July 1838 is published in pamphlet
you would confer a favor by sending me a
copy. the widow is very aged & needy & your
immediate attention will confer a favor
Yours Respectfully
Ransom Lloyd
