I have received yours of the 15 th inst e stating that "Mrs Elizabeth Waugh should make a brief deposition to identify herself as the claimant under the act of 7 th July 1838 whose proofs of service are on file in this office & deemed satisfactory" You probably referred to an application for a Pension made some time since — She has more recently made another application under the acts of July 7 th 1838 & 23 rd Aug 1842 which was forwarded to your office on or about the 9 th inst e which was complete in itself (as I suppose), & which will probably obviate the necessity for the deposition referred to in yours of the 15 th inst e
Very Resp t Yours
Geo. C. Woodruff
P.S. It is possible that I ought to understand your letter as requiring that Mrs Waugh should depose that she is the identical & the same person who applied for a Pension on the 9 th inst e & also applied on a former occasion, i.e. that she is the same person named in both applications. If so please inform me G. C. Woodruff

She called on me this day, having been in- formed, that, by the construction now put on the acts of Congress, she is entitled to a pension. And she wishes you would review her ap- plication & if she is entitled, that you would send me a Certificate.
If she is entitled, & it is necessary that she make a new application, or produce further evidence on any point please inform me of what she must do.
