James L. Edwards Esquire, Commissioner of Pensions, Sir:-
The children of Ebenezer Tracy late a Pensioner under the Act of March 18. 1818, claim the balance due at the time of his death, upon the endorsement of the bond - I do not discern any objection to them, except that the power of Attorney bears date more than 90 days ago, and one of the children, N. B. Sophia, executes the power, by Attorney, and no authority is shown for his assenting to act as such -
Be pleased to instruct us in relation to this claim.
I am, Sir,
with great respect

Dear Sir:
Will you kindly furnish me with a record of Military service of one Ebenezer Tracy of Mass. who was a pensioner of the Revolutionary War. Tradition (family says he was one of Washingtons body guards.
