I return to your office the certificates in the case of Abel Hotchkiss widow of Nathaniel Tyhe for correction.
There are two certificates covering the time from 1836 to 1841. and none the time from 1842 to 1848. —

Albany Pension Agency. January 30. 1852.
James E. Heath Esq. Commissioner of Pensions. Sir.
In compliance with your instructions of the 8 th of October last, we inscribed the name of Mabel Hotchkiss, formerly Widow of Nathaniel Flyler, under the Acts of 7 July 1838, 3 rd March 1843 & 17 June 1844, & 2 nd Feby 1848, at the rate of $114. 80 / 100 per annum.
On the 23 rd of October last, we paid the amount due her under the several acts above mentioned, without deduction .
But recently we find the name of Mabel Hotchkiss Widow of Jeremiah Hotchkiss, under the act of 2 nd Feby 1848, at $80. per annum and paid at that rate of $280.
As it appears from her oath of identity that she is the same person to whom both pensions were granted, and as we suppose she is not entitled to draw two pensions for the same time, or for the services of two husbands, I think it proper to inform you of these facts.
I am, Sir, Very Respectfully, Your Ob t Serv t .

Sir
I hope I have found the right Nathaniel Sylve, but that the certificate will be available, the service does not appear to have been altogether under Capt Pendleton. but that I hope will not be an objection. Nathaniel Sylve name is not found only in the line.
