Hon A. H. H. STUART
   Sec Depart Interior

   Sir
          I herewith respectfully present for the
Consideration of the Pension Department
the application of Mrs Christiana JACKSON
widow of Moses JACKSON dec'd for arrearages
of and increase of Pension.  Mrs. JACKSON
filed her papers for procurring a Pension
Many years ago - And the exact state of 
Case Made out - is not now uncollected
by her, or known to the undersigned (She
however states that her husband the said
Moses JACKSON dec'd Served nine months
in the Revolutionary war.) she received a
Pension Cetificate & under the act of
Congress of July 4, 1836, entitling her to 
draw $20 per annum from the 4th 
of March 1831 - during her widowhood.
   By the provisions of the act of Congress
of June  7th 1832 - all persons who served
as therein specified for a term or terms of less
time than two years, but not less than six
months should receive according to his term
of Service and amount bearing such inform
=tion to the full pay as the time of six months
or more, would bear to the full term of two
years ~ and to commence on the fourth
day of March 1831.
   By the third Section of the act of July 
4th 1836~ the widow is entitled to receive
the same annuity or Pension which might
have been allowed to her husband if he
had been living at the time of the passage
Page 24

of the said act of June 7th 1832.  It is
apprehended the petitioner must have
mad out a satisfactory case to the de
-partment, as to the service & etc of her
husband~ or she as a matter of course
would not have rec'd the Pension Certificate
she is now possessed of~ And it is
not seen how a pension Certificate
could have properly issued for less
than the sum of Twenty Four
Dollars per annum when it re
=quired a pension of six months or 
More Service to come within the
Provisions of the act. And then
to receive in proportion to the time
served as two years service is to 
the full pay~ even if two years entitled
to the full pay of $96~ per annum six
months should certainly draw $24. per
annum.  This is a plan arithmatical
proposition and it is not seem if
we have property construed the act
how the Pension Certificate could
properly issued for less than the said
Sum of $24 per annum.
   The attention of the Department is
respectfully asked to this case with
the hope that the Pension may have
all arrears is allowed her and such
other Pension Certificate as will en
=able her to draw the full amount
to which she may be entitled
during the remainder of her days~
