Dear Sir 
I wish to make an enquiry of your Dept, concerning grants to widows of officers of the Army of the Revolution, & will endeavor to be as concise as possible. 
Mr John Boyle of [illegible], Tazewell [illegible], writes July 8 1850, that he as agent for widows & Orphans that he had then lately obtained for his wife & 3 other heirs &800 of Govt, on the Sole circumstance of their mother, Mrs. Green widow of Capt. Gabriel Green. having so far survived him as to be alive in the latter part of 1838. Capt Green was a gallant warrior of the Revolution, Va, Continental Line 
Boyle's object in writing to a certain family here was to say if they were nearly allied by descent from a widow Revolutionary Col. he [illegible] obtain "Lands out here (west) & money" & in another place he says "Besides this Separate matter, there is 1/2 pay ^still due to heirs, or in lieu thereof, commatation for 5 yr. full ["full" underlined] pay". with interest for 10 years- also U.S. Lands". 
May I request of the Department to examine & see what was done by Boyle, in behalf of Capt Greens heirs, & under what law Money was obtained. & also, under what Act, or decision money & land benefits can be obtained, if at all. 
and much oblige

Sir, 
I received your communication of the 18th of April, on yesterday, and have to day examined the certificate of Col James Wood on which Said Gabriel Green ^or his heirs received his bounty land warrant [three words crossed out] (the warrant issuing some time after the date of the certificate) and find that his service was three years; so that the heirs cannot be entitled to additional bounty I do not know on what evidence the Register at Chilicothe Mr Latham made out his statement - but he must have been mistaken The highest evidence which can be resorted to, and must govern, where it is to be found is the certificate of the Commanding officer. In this case, that certificate is filed.

James L Edwards Esq re ["re" underlined] 
Respected Sir 
I w'd respectfully solicit your courteous, and considerate attention to the within paper - It regards my mother in law, the widow Sarah Anne Green, still living in Henderson Co. Ky. Her late husband was an officer of distinction by the bloody battles, which he fought in the south under his uncle, Col. John Green of Va. Contl. ["Contl" underlined] Line. This is about the substance of what she, & her children, & connections can prove - [illegible] marriage prior to the last term of service be a sine qua now in the law of "4th. July 1836"-, there will be scarcely one in a hundred officers' widows that can profit by it, for they, ^the officers almost all come out of the Revolution as single ["single" underlined] men - Lt. G. Green's commission was (I presume) still owned by him until he was selected by the proper authorities to march as a Cap. of Va. militia against the Insurgents. 
Hoping to hear soon, I am, with sentiments of high respect &c &c

of these claims on their part, and deciseve of their validity; and have gone on to take them up under our State Laws. It remains for our Court of Justice to decide the merits of conflicting claims.

He was called therefore not as a matter ["matter" underlined] of courtesy ["courtesy" underlined], but of right ["right" underlined], Capt Gabl Green, until his death, He has told me he fought the battles ^of Eutaw Springs "-"Thirty Six" &c, &c, - I wish this to be final, and hope you will grant whatever justice will allow - With due respect yours
