Sir
no mistake has occured in your report
made on the 28th of last month in the case
of Nancy McMillan of Ohio,
under the Resolution
of Congress of the 23d of January last
Allow me to appeal
from your decision to
the Hon Secretary of War.

From the Resolution of
Congress you sent
me Explanatory of the act of the 30th of April 1844 nothing appears
requiring the Widow's declaration
to have been made previous to the 30th April 1844
It is very evident that Congress intended by
that Revolution to provide for all those a
had applied since the 30th of April and
prior to the passage of that Revolution, or they
would not also provided for Arrearages
of
Pension for claims allowed after the passage
of the act of the 30th of April 1844 arrearages
originated and did Exist at the passage of
said Revolution,
If any limits
are fixed by law for making
applications. The Rules of your Department will
in Many
case interfere. Those rules require
applicants
(if able) to appear in open Court
to make their declaration, Nancy McMillan
was able to attend Courts and had to delay
making her papers from in the spring until
the sitting
of the County Court in June
Thus by complying with the Rules of the
Pension Department she would be deprived of
the benefit of the law
of Congress
