Dear J. P. Heath
Sir enclosed I send you the application of Mrs. Mary Wade for a pension for her husband Edward Wade's services in the Revolutionary War. The Old Lady is in very destitute circumstances, and is entirely dependent upon the charity of the people for her support - I would ask as a favor for her, that you would examine her claim with as little delay as possible, for she needs assistance from some source immediately to make her comfortable - You will find upon the examination of her claim, that the proof is sufficient to establish her claim - You will find by examining her application, that she makes application for the amount of pension that husband, was entitled to, under the act of 15 th May 1828. up to the 10 th day of October 1830 the day of his death - all officers & soldiers that served during war - were entitled to pension under said act. - You will find by examining the certified record of his service, that they charge Wade with 90 th Shillings, as paid by Jewett which is not carried out, or extended - and also - in the year 1782 Carried over

They charge him for Beef, 50¢ = $2.10. But do not give him Credit for any Service in 1782 - or after - I find by the examination of the Books & records that he was during war Mon, and that his name is upon the list of Army war men, published in 1828 by resolution of Congress - and thereby acquired a right to 100 Acres of land, and said Wade's heirs have never made application for the same - Please examine her claim as soon as possible & you will confer a great favor upon Mrs. Wade as she is entirely destitute of the means of support - Please direct your communications to Richard B. Dinnock Burlington Otsego County State of New York - And oblige your humble & Obl Servant
