Pension Office, March 29/61
Sir,
In answer to your letter of the 12 th instant I have to state that a claim for arrears of pension in virtue of the services of Nathaniel Winslow deceased was made in 1856, by Mary Moore, his alleged daughter, but was rejected, he having died before any of the pension laws applicable to his case were passed. It appears from the papers, however, that his wife was named Hannah, and died in 1826.
If further enquiry should be made, a power of attorney from the parties interested must be transmitted by you.
