of the omission in
Mrs Welty's Petition for a Pension W.
How I came to overlook a very essential part
in her application, I do not know, unless in
my hurry to get home.
As directed, I have since obtained the
affidavit of two respectable gentlemen as
to the fact of her not having married since the
death of Mr Felty, on account of whose service
she claims a pension. The same I enclose, hoping it may be sufficient with the papers now on file to provide her the Pension.

Enclosed is the application of Mrs Felty
widow of Henry Felty late of York County decd for a Pension under the Act of Congress passed July 7th
1838, since which time our friend Walter S. Franklin
Esq has passed off, regretted by all, who knew him
He was a friend to every one
I believe, I mentioned in my letter, in the early part of
Sept. last, his having told me, that a certain person
{an Inhabitant of York,) was not in the good graces of
the Department, in consequence of his having taken the
advantage of a number of the Applicants for Pensions
In your answer of the 7th Sept last I see you was aware of the imposition
In the Rules laid down under this act, (184 of said Rules) it is said, that the facts should be so stated
As to this, it is with pleasure, I can refer you to the Record
of the Department. On the fifth day of September
A.D. 1832, the certificate of a Pension was signed by W. Robb acting Secretary of War, and examined
& countersigned by yourself, in favour of Henry Felty
the husband of the Petitioner, and recorded in Book D
Vol. 6th page 75.-
Your early attention to this
matter will be gratefully received & acknowledged
by old Mrs Felty, as well as myself.- W.D. Schriver

My dear Sir:
I am very anxious to find the War Record of Henry Felty, Adams County, Pennsylvania, who was a Private in the War of the Revolution, 1777. Family records state he was a Cavalry Officer. Have you proof of this?

Family records also state that his wife died in 1820 in Philadelphia. I think her name was Anna Maria. Did she obtain a pension?

Whatever information you can send me will be greatly appreciated. I would appreciate a reply as quickly as possible, as I am making out a paper for the D.A.R. Society,

Thank you kindly.

Very truly,
[signature: "Mrs. H. D. Sheppard"]
State Regent.
