Dear Sir
339/114 1579
That Mrs Susannah Tripat and Mrs Mary Shott might obtain the benefits of the Pension Act of February last I encosed to J B Edwards Commissioner of Pensions Washington the Declaration of the above named Ladies with the request that he would forward the certificate to you at Richmond. If the declarations are not in proper form I desired him to return them to me with such instructions as would enable me to put them in proper order. As I have heard nothing from him on the subject I have come to the conclusion that they were in proper form.
Some six or seven weeks have elapsed since the application and the old Ladies are becoming impatient to know the result as they need the little pittance to which they are fairly entitled.
Will you be so obliging as to let me know whether or not you have received the certificates and what from the pension office and when the old Ladies may expect to receive their money?
Your early attention to this request will greatly oblige two worthy old Ladies as well as yours
