Sir.
I left with you about
three months ago a letter addr-
essed to me in relation to the
case of      Minter.  I think 
I left it with it at the same time
a letter in relating to the case
of Jane or Sarah Decker whis.
latter has been answered the former
has not? can it not have immediate
attention?
              Very Respectfully,
               J. W. Thayer

Dr Sir
	I wish you to see if an application has been 
filed in the pension office for a widow's pension for 
Jane Decker a widow of Samuel Decker who was a 
solder in the Revolution.  the application if any was
made seven or eight years ago but may not have been
sent to Washington for more than two or three years
ago.  The widow resides in Quiger now Chemming
County N.Y. - If the application is on file in the office
cannot you find out what is wanted to have it
allowed and whose afidavit has been sent with
the application.  She has a child living whose age
 is over 78 years her's is over 99 and it is important
that you search the records without delay as she
will probably not live long.  Do answer this as
soon as possible.  Yours truly
		Benjamin Elliott

John M Thayer

p.s. If the papers are not there I wish to make them
out immediately and send them to you.
