Dear Sir  Enclosed I send you a declaration of Mrs Donoho for a pension. I am informed that since I got it certified that a Mr Trobue has obtained a declaration from her and has probably forwarded it before this. I have been waiting to complete the evidence before sending it. Mr Trobue's father has interfered with cases of mine before. I think as the declaration which I send you was first made that if she is entitled to a pension it ought to be upon the first declaration.
