The image displays a collection of elegant, calligraphic flourishes in dark ink on a light, textured background. These decorative elements are arranged in a somewhat grid-like fashion, separated by a faint vertical line down the center. Each flourish consists of a central, dense, star-like or floral-shaped knot from which long, sweeping, and looping lines extend outwards. The lines vary in thickness and curvature, creating a sense of movement and grace. The overall appearance is that of a decorative header or a set of initials from an antique manuscript or a formal document.

Washington, Dec. 27 th 1853 Hon. L. V. Waldo Com. of Pensions
Sir: I herewith transmit a Power of Attorney from Charles White, Esq. of Cheshire Co. N. Hampshire, legal representative of "Mary White" pensioned per Act 1838, as the Widow of Ammie White, a Revolutionary soldier.
The claim now set forth, is, that Ammie White served as an Artificer in Capt. Benjamin Pollard's Company, Col. Brewer's Regiment of Massachusetts Artificers. That he was in the Regular Line service, and that the Widow, Mary White , pensioned Act of 1838, at $72.00 per ann. did not, as the Claimant conceives, receive the amount due to the rank held by her husband while with the Army.
As the Department is in possession of the complete Returns of those entitled as Artificers, a reference to the same, in this case will greatly oblige
Very Respectfully
Your ob't serv't
