Hon Sir
On the 7th of October last I sent
to the Department the Declaration and the Pension certificate of Mrs Nancy Jordan Widow of
Thomas Jordan the Declaration was for an increase of Pension. Not having heard from it
with you, Thomas Jordan was a pensioner
and in the investigation of this claim I respectfully
refer you to the Records at Washington for the
Service of Thomas Jordan, he served in the Batten
or Boat Service for which the widow has not been
allowed in the adjustment of her claim for which
she claimed the name of Thomas Jordan is borne
upon the Rolls at Washington for this service and
I would respectfully solicit your attention to that
the widow now receives $56, 66 she claims $80, and
the records at Washington I think will show full
service for her husband Thomas Jordan, Will the
Department issue a new certificate or return the
old one so that the widow can draw her (illegible) payment due her on the 4 of March last
