Permit me to enquire about the case of Richard Grant which was to be examined by the Chief Clerk efforts are continually being made to get the case out of my hands & it is getting rather difficult to satisfy the parties that I am acting for their best interest. Should Mr Bell think favorably of the claim I should like to have it finished if expedient Mr Taintor is urging me to go to Washington, which I shall avoid if possible —

Dear Sir
As the attorney of the children of Catherine Treat, widow of Jonathan Treat dec d , I would respectfully request that the application of Catherine Treat be re-examined.
This is an application for a pension under the act of July 7 th 1838, on account of the military services of Jonathan Treat who was a Drumster in the continental army in the Revolutionary war. The claimant alleges she was married to the said Jonathan on the 8 th day of November 1792, that the said Jonathan deceased the 24 th day of January A.D. 1817, and that she has never been married since the decease of said Jonathan. The claim for services, a service of more than two years in a Company of Drumsters commanded by Bissell Phelps in the years 1777, 1778 and 1779 in the army of the Revolution. This case was first filed in the pension office in September 1841, and was then denied upon the ground that the service claimed was not provided for in the act of June 7, 1832. I claim to have it now reopened because the department has admitted all cases of this character since 1848. —
The claim for two years service is supported by the deposition of Bissell Phelps the conductor of the company to which Jonathan Treat belonged. From this deposition we learn that Jonathan Treat was paid for his services

and two months clothing up to February 28 th 1879 the sum of Eighty six pounds, sixteen shillings lawful money. This at the rate of four pounds ten shillings per month would give something over nineteen months service if nothing is allowed for clothing. The certificate of H. Goodwin D. Pension Agent, Hartford Connecticut, dated July 20, 1846 shows that Jonathan Peat name is borne upon the rolls of Dike's Phelps Company from March 1 st to October 1, 1879 a period of seven months, and that Phelps himself served from June 1878 to February 1881. - The seven months service commencing March 1, 1879 is after the date of Peat's certificate to Phelps and added to the nineteen months embraced in the receipt clearly shows that Jonathan Peat served more than two years as Phelps has testified. This joins the requisite service for a full pension.
The marriage of the claimant with the said Jonathan Peat on the 14 th day of November 1892 is proved by the record of the parents of Earlbury in the town of Glastonbury Connecticut, duly authenticated.
The death of Jonathan Peat on the 24 th day of January 1817, is proved by Abigail Aikley and Dorothy McCoy as also that Catherine survives and remains his widow.
The death of Catherine Peat on the 8 th day of July 1845 is proved by the Court as on file, and the fact that Parmey Dore and Samantha Brewer are her only surviving children appears from the same document.
From these facts I claim a pension for Catherine Peat, widow of Jonathan Peat a Treasurer, in the Revolutionary war under the act of July 7 th 1838 for five years from March 4, 1836 at the rate of

one hundred and ninety two Dollars per annum; and also under the acts of March 3 d 1843 and June 17. 1844, a like pension from the 4 th of March 1843 to July 8. 1845 the time of Catherine Frost's death, and that the arrear- ages be made payable to Parmach Doud and Samantha Brewer the only surviving children of said Catherine Frost deceased. —

In the application of Keturah Heat widow of Jonathan Heat for a pension in right of the services of said husband Jonathan Heat under the widows act of 1835 - two years and more of term service in Capt Bypall Phelps Company of Trains is, if rightly recollect, alleged in the declaration - And the application is supported by the deposition of said Phelps the Commanding Officer of said Company -
At the time of forwarding said application, (so far as I am informed) the applicant did not know of the existence of any documentary evidence - Important documentary evidence most fully supporting the testimony of said Phelps is herewith forwarded -
It will be perceived by the finding of the Court of Probate within for the County of Berkshire, State of Massachusetts that the applicant Keturah Heat died in Tyringham in that County on the 8th day of July 1845 - The names of the surviving children of said Keturah are also found - And I hereby

submit an application in their behalf for the amount of Pension due to their mother at the time of his decease
A power of Attorney from the surviving children investing me with authority to make the application also accompanies this letter
With great respect
I have the honor to be
