New York June 7, 1849,
Sir,
I have been requested by Mrs Hannah C Tucker to return the within certificate, and direct your attention to an error in which the Department has fallen. It seems, and will so appear from the August roll of the Regiment for 1847 , that her late husband was discharged as a Sergeant , which would entitle his widow to the half-pay of that rank, whereas the certificate only allows her the half-pay of a private. This mistake has arisen from the fact that the roll on final muster stated that Tucker had been discharged as a private, and led to a conflict between that roll and the one of August 1847. The final roll was probably made from memory. Tucker died immediately after his discharge, and before leaving the Hospital. Mrs Tucker has received the back and Extra Pay at the rate of sergeant's pay , and all the proofs on file in Pensions, as well as the application for Pensions, show the facts stated. May I ask on behalf of Mrs Tucker a correction of the certificate.
Very Respectfully
Your obed Servt
