Dear Sir
I take the liberty to enclose the within Certificate which appears to have been filled with the name of William Walker instead of Will. Wallace the declaration was filed for Wallace as will appear by reference thereto - I was personally acquainted with the Applicant, he was a citizen of Cabanous County Mo. Co. and died some time in the year '33 or '34 without having drawn any part of the pension allowed - Will you be so kind as to have the mistake corrected; and let me know what evidence will be required from the widow (who is very poor) to entitle her to draw the money
Very Respectfully Dan. Coleman
