Dear sir, at the request of Mr Asher Allen
whose mother draw a pension from the U.S. as
widow of Asher Allen a soldier in the army of
the United States in the revolutionary War, and who draws her pension at Pittsburgh, I have written to you requesting you so to change the arangement of paying her pension as to enable
her to draw it at Cincinnati, instead of Pittsburgh
It would greatly facilitate the matter of getting
her money, as we can any week get the business
attended to, from this place; but from Pittsburgh it causes a good deal of trouble & delay.
Your complyance will very much oblige
the parties concerned
please write to my address, Hillsborough Ohio

Dear Sirs:
I wish to receive from you if possible some information in addition to
what I have already with regard to a soldier of the Revolution, Asher Allen.
I have the following information:
While living in Mansfield, Connecticut Asher Allen joined the forces
of the Revolution ( Shumway Company ) on April 24, 1777.
He was made a corporal November 1, 1778; reduced January 1,
1880; discharged April 23, 1880.While residing in Morgan
County, Ohio he began receiving a pension for his services
of $96 per month under the Act of Congress of March 18, 1818.
He was placed on the pension rolls October 13, 1818, his pension
commencing as of May 11, 1818.
I trust that this information will enable you to locate the
record. What I particularly want to know from your records
is the name of the town in Morgan County, Ohio in which he
was living, also if your records show it, the time of his
death. Should your records reveal anything more in detail as
to his services in the Revolution, or indicate that he
may have lived at other places than Mansfield, Connecticut,
and Morgan County, Ohio, I would appreciate any additional
information you can furnish on these points.
I will be glad to pay a nominal fee for the information I
am asking of you, and if it is customary for you to charge
fees in cases of this kind will you please let me know what
the charge will be?
Trusting that I will hear from you soon on this matter,            M. O. S.
Very sincerely,
