New Haven Sept. 20th 1851
Hon. Com. Pensions}
Washington}  Sir,

My grandfather and grandmother, Phineas and Susan Walker of Woodstock, Windham Co. Conn. were entitled to a pension from the government.  The records at the agency at Hartford show no payment to Phineas, but contain the evidence that he served as Sergeant and Ensign.  It is a fact also which he has often communicated to me that he served as Quarter or Paymaster. The same records show that Susan was paid annually $35.87/100 from March 4th 1831 to March 4 1838.  It would seem that this small amount was based on a privates pension. Are not the heirs of said Phineas and Susan entitled to additional money, and how much? Whose order fo you require for the payment? Do you require additional evidence, and what to substantiate our claims? Information is relation to the above matter will greatly oblige.

Yours Truly,
Alfred Walker
for Sgt. Walker

Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 9th transmitting a copy of your letter to the Hon J. W. Williams of the Hon. Reps. dated Oct 4th 1837 [illegible] any of the reasons why a Pension Certificate did not [illegible] to Mrs Susan Walker of Ct 
In the first [illegible] your letter says that the [illegible] Phipps in 1782 [crossed out]
declares that he served three months commencing Augt 1776 in N Y. in Capt Chandler Company 
It would seem by your letter that the
witness would wish to be understood
that the services spoken off above were
commenced in 1782 and rendered
in 1776 ---In your letter of date to John Lawler 2nd Esqr I am informed that you admit the following service (viz0
At Lexington - 5 days
.do New Jersey - 3 months
at New London   2
5 5-
Page 30

the service at Providence R.I. in 1776 & 7
two months you disallow and also
the service at Tower Hill, of one & half
month- as to the service at Tower Hill, 
I am informed that William May testifies
that he was with him "Walker" at Tower
Hill and served the above period under
Walker as Ensign, and that he recollects
it perfectly well as it was the only
service he [illegible] rendered --
you make no mention of
Willard Child's testimony in the case
he I am informed has given much
testimony in the case I would here
take the liberty of saying that the
Hon J.W. William is well acquainted with
the character of the witnesses and
is ready to certify to their responsibility
I am further informed that the
Certificate of the [illegible] is
conclusive in to great part of this case
You request furth evidence 
as to the commission of Ensign
Page 31

I am informed on this point that
that it cannot be found I herewith
transmit his commission as Lieut
which in my Judgment goes to
strengthen the former circumstance
and which in connection with
May's testimony ought to be conclusive
In receiving this subject I am
unable to see why a certificate is withheld.
It is possible that I have not
received correct information as
I have never examined the original
[illegible] - with the permission of the
Dept I feel disposed to do so
as I am fully satisfied myself
that this is a meritorious claim
