Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir. Enclosed you will please find an application for a Pension, from Mrs. Mary Webb. and I wish to say a word or two in regard to it.
It is the first time in my life I ever attempted to make out an Affidavit for this object or any other of a like char- acter. I have done it at the earnest solicitations of a few friends. The old Lady is very feeble & very poor, & does not feel willing & in fact is not able to fee a Lawyer. The favor I have to ask of you is, - If there is any defect in the papers or any want of further proof. that you will let me know it immediately And also whether she can draw from the time of her husband's death or not. Respectfully John Hurlbut
