My dear Sir:
  I am writing a historical article of Brev. Brig. Gen. Hazen, of revolutionary time and find that The Congress granted to his widow a pension of $200. a year in 1805. I can find no trace of her or how long she lived after her husband's death in 1803. will you kindly give any information you may have as to where she lived when drawing her pension and when she died or ceased to draw her pension. Her name was Charlotte.
  Yours sincerely,
 Frank W. Thomas

Sir.
  In answer to your enquiry whether Mrs Charlotte Hazen decd left any Heir or Heirs, I have to observe that I was personally acquainted with her, & never heard or understood that she had any; on the contrary I believe she had none - permit me to remark that Charles D. Cooper claims to be paid the balance due on her pension as Executor or the late Lieut - Governor Taylor, who was the  Assignee of that pension for valuable consideration, & on an annuity granted by him to Mrs Hazen - I have believed that as such Assignee his title was paramount to the claims of Mrs Hazens representatives, had she left any:  & that the papers I delivered to you would be an ample authority & protection to the government against any other possible claim -
  Your Obed Servt
  A Spencer
