I understand that applica- -tion for a pension, was made, either by the said Widow or her said daughter, or by both some 15 or 20 years ago, that the

claim was, (s) suspended, that the papers are on file in the Pension office, and that the claim seems to have been abandoned for some cause or other. for some years past.
As evidence of Author- ity to withdraw papers, on file, I Send herewith a Power of Attor- ney duly executed by Elizabeth Ross, a daughter of the said Gabriel Winship (the deceased Revolu- tionary Soldier) who is a resident of this County, and directly interested in this claim as she supposes.
