I return you again the pension certificate of Mrs. Gloninges who will on no account accept of it, and particularly desires that her name be not placed on the pension roll, neither will she or her heirs or representatives ever demand it. 
The documents and the commission of her husband.  She must again request to be transmitted without delay to her, as she values
them infinitely more than the pension awarded.  I hope you will comply with the requested.

Sir:

   Enclosed I return you the pension Certificate for $125.00, which you will please to return to the Government; and forward to me all the documents which I transmitted together with the Commition of my late husband which I value far above the amount of the pension awarded.  
   The amount is much less than what I had expected for the services rendered and I have no desire to draw it, having been left in a condition not to need it and therefore I do not wish my name to appear on the pension roll for so small an amount.
                      Yours Very Respectfully

My dear Sir, 
 
I enclose you a letter which I have received from J. Krause Esquire of Lebanon, to which I desire to call your attention.  Would the written statement of the late Judge Gloninger to which it refers and the claim of his widow for a pension, accompanied by my certificate of  that of the most respectable men in the State, that he was a man of the strictest veracity. 

   I would thank you also to give your attention to the claim of Regina Krause, the widow of the late Judge Krause.  They are all great respectatability.

                            from your friend
                             very respectfully

P.S. You cane either return or keep the letter of  W. Krause as you think proper.

Bedford Springs 31 July 1839.
My dear Sir,
  I now have the pleasure of transmitting to you a copy of the paper prepared by the late Judge Gloninger in his last llaif in which he refers to his revolutionary services.  It is authenticated by the Rev: W. Ernst & by Mrs. Gloninger.  The Hon: John Shindel is an associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County.
  I was well acquainted with the late Judge Gloninger from the year 1813 or 1814 until the period of his death, having for a number of years practiced law in the County where he was a Judge of the Court.  He always sustained the highest reputation as a man of integrity, veracity & intelligence; and I would not hesitate to believe that the statement contained in the enclosed paper is true.
  I was also well acquainted with his eldest son the Rev: Philip Gloninger who was certainly older than myself & I was born in 1791.  His father must, therefore, have been married to his present widow before the year 1790.
Yours very respectfully
J.L. Edwards Esq.          James Buchanan
P.S. Please to direct to Lancaster where I expect to be in ten days or two weeks.

Dear Sir
Your favor enclosing a Communication from the War Department, relative to Ant Gloninger application was duly received, I advised her of the contents of the letter and she informs me that she has no documentary evidence of Uncle's Service, and is unable to procure any more proof of service other than that forwarded to Washington - She has in her possession a paper containing a short history of the various services of Judge Gloninger, drawn up by himself at the request of the family, four or five days before his death, in this statement he has reference to his Revolutionary Services and States that he entered the Service of his Country in 76.  Was at the battle of Staten Island, Trenton etc. and remained in, and performed military duty during the whole period of the war. - This statement was made in the last ilbriefs of Uncle - Written by himself in the german language, when he was unable to sit up, and was only enabled to do so by being supported by some of his attendants. - I think some credit ought to attach to it, from the manner, and time it was written.  If You will advise the department of it, and ^it will add to the testimony in furtherance of her Claim, advise me, and I will Send or bring it to Lancaster. _ There is no doubt of the Service of Uncle
Page 26

but, a great difficulty is had at this late period, to get testimony to establish it as minutely as is requited by the department. _ Unt requsts me to say to You, that she feels highly gratified, and much pleased for Your kindness and attention in this matter.
If You write to Washington have the goodness to call the attention of Mr. Edwards to the testimony forwarded some time since in the case of my mother Regina Krause. _ I presented her claim last winter, and had an allowance granted her, but have since discovered additional evidence of Service which I forwarded but have not had a reply.
I regret that I have to trouble You, and will only add that I will most cheerfully reciprocate Your kindness when an opportunity offers.
With great respect
Your ObeSt

Harrisburg January 8. 1844.
Dear Sir
Sometime in April 1839 Ant Gloninger, widow of the late Judge Gloninger of Lebanon, made application for the benefit of the Act of Congress granting Pension to widows - In June or July following Mr Edwards forwarded a Certificate allowing her $25. per annum for five Years. - this amount was so greatly below what she considered herself entitled to, that she declined receiving any part of it, and thus the matter rested ever since. - When I was at Lebanon a short time since, I mentioned to her that Mother had got an additional allowance in her case, and she then requested me to present her case to Your for examination and revision. - If You will turn to her declaration filed in the Pension Office You will find by the deposition of Andw. Haber that he served in the Flying[?] Camp 8 months, and by the deposition of D. Daub that he served 4 mo. and under[??]ed Commissions to the end of the war,. by the deposition of Abraham Seabold and Valentine Sh[a?]ffler that he was Commissioned a Sub. Lieutenant and rendered Service under it, up to the end of the war, and that of George Hess also proving service. - There was also subsequently forwarded a copy of a statement made by the Judge himself a short period before his death, setting forth his service more particularly.
I have found in the Offices here, several papers of which I have herewith enclosed Copies marked No 1 & 2. by which it appears that he was Sergt. Major in 1780. See -
Page 30

paper No1. - By paper no 2 You will discover that he acted as Sub. Lieutenant from June 1782 to April 1 1783. and discharged various services for the U. States. - The Commission as Sub. Lt. was originally attached to the declaration but when Ant found that she was only allowed $25. per annum, she was disappointed, and somewhat mortified, and ^sd she would sooner have the Commission returned to her, than leave it at Washington and take $25.-
The Judge was esteemed by all who knew him, and was regarded by his companions in arms as a meritorious officer of the Revolution, and on every return of the 4th of July during his life he was honored by the Military, in testimony of his many Services during that memorable struggle.-
I would be pleased if You will at some early day take up this case, and give that consideration, and make her such allowance, as in Your Judgement You think the testimony will warrant.
I regret to be obliged to trouble You again so soon, but as she has requested me to submit the case to You, I could ^not deny her request. I trust You will find the case to be one, which will warrant You to make her an allowance.
Your attention will greatly oblige
