Barnsville July 5. 1847.
Dear Sir:
I herewith enclose you the Certificate of a Court of Record in the case of Mary Weed widow of Charles, as by you required in your letter in reference to that effect under date of 14 th June last. The widow as you will perceive died Janv. 26 th last, leaving six children her surviving.
John Leeples is also now dead as appears from information lately Recd. His wife or widow was not married to him until after Janv. 1794. Is she not entitled to the amount of arrears due him at the time of his death & if so will a Declaration drawn up in the usual form answer for the application? It is positively asserted by the friends of Leeples that he made application some time ago to an agent in New Jersey who as he supposed forwarded all the papers to the Department. Leeples lived and served in New Jersey in the War of the Revolution.

Dear Sir:
I herewith enclose you two affidavits in support of the marriage of Mary widow of Charles Weed of Stenbaw Oneida County N.Y. You now have the affidavits of three respectable citizens & highly credible witnesses who were all present & saw Widow Weed then married to her husband said Charles,
I would respectfully submit the following Case I ask your opinion & directions therein. Widow Conklin who is now insane & has been in this situation for some time past appears to be entitled to a pension under the act of July 7, 1838. Her husband who was a soldier, a nine months man, & Militia man, in the War of the Revolution died in the year 1832. The old Lady now resides with her oldest son who always lived in the family of his father. Upon the death of his father took the management of his affairs & since which time his said mother has continued to reside with him. This son still continues to manage the business in which the old Lady is concerned & recently applied to me for advice in regard to the mode of procedure in order to obtain the pension which he thinks due his Mother. It appears that provision has been made for insane soldiers & the Declaration of the nearest relative admitted in such cases. Would not a Declaration taken from this son be admissible in the claim of his insane Mother? Would this not be in accordance with the rules of the Department?
Very Respectfully Yours &c.
