Sir,
In reply to your Enquiry of the 8 Inst you are informed, that the claim for land of Mrs. Lucy
Mabe has been suspended for the reason that between her declaration for a pension + for bounty land there are so many descrepancies that it would be wholly [illegible] to adjust the claim without a full explanation. Mrs Maib should detail under oath the date of her marriage her age at the Marriage, where married by whom, where her husband resided when he died, the date of his death, her present residence, + for what amount she is pensioned & what her maiden name was
Yours Respectfully
