Dear Sir,
I enclose papers of Jane Hutchinson widow of Israel Hutchison in order to have her claim for Pension allowed. Her late husband Israel Hutchinson had formerly been pensioner under the act of March 18. 1818 at $96. his pension was stopped by act of May 1, 1820, he was again pensioned under the act of June 7 1832 at $80 per ann [annum] and continued
to draw a pension under said act till March 4. 1850
he died June 12, 1850 the balance of pension due him
from the last payment made to him, was paid to his widow Mrs Jane Hutchinson. There is no town records of their marriage known of but she presents a town record of the birth of one of her children who was born
Oct 18, 1792 which together with her declaration and
affidavit of John Smith is supposed to be sufficient to establish her claim. Will you have the goodness
to present her papers to the Comr [Commissioner] of Pensions and request him to allow her claim and send me a certificate for her

My dear Mr. Commissioner:
A constituent of mine, Mr. Carleton E. Hutchinson of 13 Currier Ave., Haverhill, Mass. is very anxious to secure a copy of the record
of the service of his grandfather, Israel Hutchinson, who served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting at Lyndeborough, N. H. on June 15, 1779.
I have obtained from the Adjutant General of the War Department all the material available in his files, and it occurred to me that you
might be able to furnish some additional information.
Will you please advise me if you can give me any information on the subject.
Very truly yours
