Sir,

I have received the additional proof in support of the claim of Mrs Molly Willey, widow of Robert Willey dec'd and also an application and proof for an increase of the pension of Mrs Margery Applebee and have placed the same on file with their respective papers.

The New-Hampshire rolls having been returned to the Secretary of State, it will become necefsary for the Department to adopt new rules of evidence where claims are afserted for services rendered under the authority of that State.  For the present therefore, such claims will remain suspended.  Mrs Applebees certificate is herewith returned.

I am, very respectfully,

Sir,

Your letter of the 16th relating to the case of Margery Applebee, Widow of Thomas, a pensioner on the N.H. Roll, is rec'd

The Widow thinks that she does not receive all the pension she is entitled to for her husband's service.

It may save her expense, and perhaps the department some trouble, if I could be furnished with the statement of the mode in which the amount of pension 47.77 is determined by your office, and I would respectfully, in behalf of the Widow ask to be furnished with an abstract of the same.
I am Sir,
Very respectfully,
Your Obt. Servant
