Sir, 
At the time the enclosed letter was written, a very considerable portion of the evidence now on file in support of the claim of the heirs of Mrs. Winewood F. Caulder, had not been received. A letter was addressed to Mr. Russell on the 1st just stating that upon proof being filed that, Margaret ONeal, Geo M Caulder, J Eugene M Caulder, are the only surviving children of Winewood F. Caulder, the claim would be adjusted favorably.  Mrs. Caulder was a widow at the time she married John Caulder Jr. if she had children by her first husband they would be entitled as well as those by said John. The claim will be favorably considered as soon as proof of heirship is filed

I am respectfully
your ?? Servt,

Sir, 
What becomes of the pension of Ms. Winewood F. Caulder from the date of the death of her husband John Caulder? Suppose Ms. Caulder applied for her pension during her lifetime, which she did, under what Act would she have been placed had she been successful? Why is it that Ms Winewood F Caulder so placed under the Act of 1853 and not under the Acts either of 1838, 1843, 1844, 20 February 1948 or 29th July 1848? The parties believe that this examiner or clerk inadvertently passed over the testimony, and they respectfully return the certificate and ask another examination of the declaration and testimony. 

Very ____
Yours Truly

______

The pension money due John Caulder at the time of his death, ought to be paid to the heirs.
