Sir
I respectfully call up the case of Joanna Wallen back widow of John W. Pct 7 July 1838 New York suspended. & request that it may be allowed for nine months service. as Chas Armstrong proves this service clearly and distinctly. and I would call attention to the fact that I. A has been pension Act 32 N.Y. ad m 1 for this service.
The only rolls of the service above mentioned are in the pension Office & not at Albany. No argument of mine could make stronger the proof of marriage. that I apprehend is beyond all cavil.
Enclosed is my authority
Respectfully J. H. W. Cutler
