Dear Sir,
Your letter to me stating that William Wilson attained his pension without any proof of his service and that before Mrs Wilson could receive a pension proof of his service would be required. She has obtained the pay roll of the Pennsylvania line which is enrolled. Also her affidavit stating her age and that she has no family record of her marriage or of the births of her children. Mrs Wilson is a woman of good character. She is an object of charity. has no property has buried her daughters that she lived with last week. She has been blind for the last 20 years. She can not see the light of day. She will not probably live but a few years as her glass is all most run a little money would be a comfort to her in her last days. She says she has no desire for a large sum. I am dear Sir with right consideration your Hble Servt Houghton
