Very respectfully

Sir, 
The papers in  support of the claim of the widow of John Moore deceased have been examined, and place on file, She is not entitled to any gratuity under the act of June 7, 1832., on account of her husbands services during the revolutionary war, The law provide for none who were not living at the time at which the law was made, and it would appear from the enclosed papers that Mr. Moore was killed in 1781 at the battle of Guildford.

I am Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
