Sir
              Mary Moore's pension certificate
(No 7398) widow of Roderick Moore deceased
has been received and $100 paid - the certificate
called for $20. per annum. By a reference
to the case of Roderick Moore her husband
I find his certificate gave him $26.66 per
annum his certificate was No 19.050 and dated
July 31. 1833. The law of July 7 1838 holds out the
idea that the widow shall be entitled to re-
ceive for and during the term of five years from
the 4th of March 1836, the anuity or pension, which
might have been allowed to her husband in
writue of said act.     Roderick Moore having
recd $26.66 per annum and his widow.
only $20. led me to be belive that there is
some mistake in the matter. If She was entitled
to the $26.66- there is still due her (33.30) thirty
three dollars and thirty cents. Should that be
the case you will please forward a draft
for said $33.30, to me for her use. she is
very feeble and quite indigent having lived
for a considerable time or private charity
                 I have the honor to be
