Dear Sir,
I am advised by letter that Mariah Walter, widow of Adam Walter late a pensioner of the United States applied for a pension under the law of 1838 from Ouachita Co. but that her husband's service was denied - I inclose a certificate from the Comptroller, you will judge how far it backs up his application, & declaration, if it applies to her late husband's services, with it not with the other proof on record, entitled to a pension, or if not, what further proof is required - I have heard that the widow had lately died, but do not know the fact, residing 60 miles from them
Respect Your Ob t Servt Francis Hays

In March or April 1834 Notice was given by the Pension Department that the pension of Adlam Walter was suspended and that further proof of his services was required. Mr Walter died about that period and nothing was done in the matter. His widow wishes to avail herself of the provisions of Congress in regard to such. Your letter on the subject was either returned to the office with the original Certificate, or is lost or mislaid will you please inform me as soon as convenient what further proof will be required of the services of Adlam Walter in the Revolution.
Respectfully yours Col. Supt E Rhoades
