Sir, I have again examined the claim of Mrs Sophia Walker, widow of Benjamin Walker, decd since having sought for proof of the extent of his service in the Executive Offices of Pennsylvania. The discharge which accompanies Mrs Walker's papers is for the service performed in 1776, altho dated in 1781. I do not find his name upon any of the Pennsa rolls in this office, nor is there any proof of his service to be found in the offices at Harrisburg, where it certainly would be had he served after 1777. 
Mrs Walker may therefore be allowed for 12 months service as a private should she be inclined to accept it.
Her papers are on file.
I am respectfully, your obt servt

To the Com of Pensions,
Sir,
I regrett that I am again under the necesity of writing to you on the subject of Mrs Walker's application for a pension, but I am now certain that (in turn) it should have been examined before now and a report made therein. I know that Mr Richards of this place has recd a pension certificate for a Mrs Griffith who made application after Mrs Walker and that the papers of Mrs Walker were examined by our County Court and returned to the War Department, sometime proving to Mrs Griffiths and consequently the report on Mrs Walker's application should have been at least as soon as Mrs Griffith's. Something must be wrong in this matter, either the papers must have been misplaced or they must have been missent. Please let me hear from you on the subject as soon as possible. The widow is very needy and if she could obtain a pension certificate although she cannot draw the money until March, she could mannage to get some advance in virtue of the certificate. 
Very respectfully your obt servt

Respected Friend

Thomas Gore administrator of Sophia Walker, who was the widow of Benjamin Walker late of Loudon County Virginia a revolutionary pensioner, has been informed by Jos. P Mcgrath who had some afinity for said widow that an arrear of pension was due to said widow at the time of her death, which took place I think in February last. I suppose that in order  to draw any such arrears of pension all that will be necessary will be to produce his letters of administration duly authorized, and evidence of the time of said widows death. Please to and to me as Thos Gore's Attorney the proper instructions I should have stated that Sophia Walker herself was a pensioner, as will I presume appear from
the records of the office.
