Last Summer I addressed you a short note on the subject of Mrs. Marshall's pension, which you did me the honor promptly to answer - From certain appearances that have been made and I am led to believe that in the statement which I was instructed to render you there must be some mistake - I conclude this also from the high character of the gentlemen engaged in the transaction - You will not suffer that information to be any obstacle in the way of a recovery or payment of the pension upon authority otherwise authentic - Should there be any just grounds for resisting the right under the "power of Attorney" I will certainly advise you that you may regard it as legal & valid until so informed.

Inclosed is the declaration of Mrs. Mary Marshall's claim to a pension on account of the services of her late husband Isaac Marshall dec d . You will I hope as soon as convenient forward this letter and Mrs. Marshall's declaration to the office of the Commissioner of Pensions. Who is hereby requested to examine the said declaration and to return as speedily an answer as the nature of the case will admit of. The Commissioner of Pensions is referred to the evidence in the War department on which Isaac Marshall was pensioned, as no living witness can now be found to prove the service of the said Isaac Marshall. Should Mrs. Marshall be allowed a pension, I hope the proper officer will inclose the amount granted, and forward it to Honey Point post office, North Carolina and County of Iredell.
I have the honor to be Very respectfully Your obt. Servt.
