Dear Dir, Enclosed herewith I send you the papers of Anna Krom, claiming a continuation of her husbands pension.
I think the proof of her marriage, and of her husbands service after the marriage, are as strong as can be required. Her husband was considered to have been one of the most efficient Whigs of the revolution and was reputed to have done a great deal of service. he drew a pension o $80 per year during his life. the widow claims to have the same continued to her under the act of the 4th July 1836.
Be pleased to bring this care to a determination as soon as convenient.
sincerely yours
