The reason that she omitted to state in her declaration the yearly amount of the Pension which she received is under the act of 1838 is that she received it all at one time, that the expense of the Agent employed by her was taken out of the amount received by reason of which she has forgotten what the exact yearly amount was. The certificate under the act of 1838 has been given up to the Pension Agent. You will please to send her certificate to me or communicate with me concerning her claim.
