Washington. April 19. 1852
Dear Sir,
Enclosed you will find a Power of Attorney from the heirs of M rs Sarah Welch deceased, authorizing me to prosecute their claim to the amount of Pension due their late Mother at the time of her death. Claim under act 1838 suspended, Maine.
I have carefully examined the papers on file in your Office in this case, and can see no reason why the claim should not be allowed. The marriage is shown by record proof to have taken place in 1796, and the certificate of the Secretary of State of Mass ts furnishes proof of service from 1777 to the close of the War in 1783.
I have therefore respectfully to request that a certificate may issue without further delay.
Very respectfully, Wm Lloyd W. B. Addison
J. C. Heath Esq. Com r of Pensions
