James L. Edwards Esq. Commis r of Pensions,
Sir,
The Hon. Horace D. Gould, writes to me that he has received information from your Office, that a Pension Certificate for Mrs. Hannah Webb, under the act of 2 d Feby. 1848, was duly issued & sent to me - If it was received by me, I am confident, as stated in my affidavit herewith, that I sent it to Mr. Gould - It appears from his affidavit, also enclosed, that he never received it - Under these circumstances I presume there can be no objection to issuing another Certificate to her - I have the goodness to send it direct to Mr. Gould, Delancey
Delancey Co - It appears by the Books of the Agency, that she has not received anything under the act of Feby. 1848, which confirms the belief that the Certificate was not received by Mr. Gould, or by her -
I am, Sir,
