Dear Sir, I enclose you with the evidence of the death of Emeline Hyatt and of her husband Bayle Hyatt late of New York and the names of the children that now survive them -
Mr Hyatt made claim to a pension under act 7 July 1838 for the services of her husband as a translator in the Quarters Master Department under Colo Hughes.
May I request in the name of the children, a further & particular examination of the rolls of Colo Hughes. It is believed the name of Bayle Hyatt must appear on the rolls as a translator.
I am with respect Yours Abdt Servt H. Putnam.

Sir
Mr B. dela Pierre called on me yesterday to obtain a letter to you which I declined to write upon the ground that I had no personal acquaintance with you & not holding a public station I did not believe that a letter from me would be of any advantage. But I find he considers that I treated him very ill in refusing to write to you & inasmuch as I have a high respect for him him I would be glad to serve him it is due to myself to say that Mr B dela Pierre is a highly respectable man very

benevolent & ever ready to give his time & attention to the deserving & unfortunate - He took (a few years since when I held a public Station) a very active part in the collection & distribution of (I believe) several thousand dollars raised for the benefit of the surviving soldiers of the Revolution & their widows which brought him in contact & made him acquainted with the situation of a large proportion of those living in this City; which together with his character for benevolence has induced many to call upon him to get his aid in obtaining pensions under the act of Congress. I therefore take the liberty to state to you that Mr B. Dela-Heare is a highly respected Citizen, in

timately acquainted with the situation with of many of those entitled to pensions &c. ask for his communications your favorable consideration.
Very Respectfully your obedient Servant C. H. Darrow

Sir
Accompanying are the papers of the widow Ennice Hyatt, whose husband served in the war of the Revolution. She now makes her claim for a pension in conformity with the act of July 7 1838.
I have no doubt but several applications, for procuring pension, from soldiers widows, will reach you through me. From the fact of my having, about three years ago, taken an active part in the collection and distribution of money, coming, as a gift, from the citizens of this city to the few soldiers of the Revolution and their widows in this city, and by that means I got acquainted with many of them, and now some of them apply to me to assist them in obtaining the bounty of Congress in their behalf.

I also forward the declaration of the widow Stone who, it seems, had made application under the act of 1836 but whose claim could not be taken in consideration owing to no provision being then made for such widows as were married after the war, or after their husbands had left the service - she having been married subsequently to the war, but prior to anno 1794 brings her claim under the last act - she informs me that all her proofs and papers are now at the War Department, and I presume a reference to them is all that is necessary, if however not, you will, no doubt, inform me, she however declares she has nothing more to offer.
Respectfully
B. de la Pierre

P.S. I have omitted attaching to the affidavits of Henry Depew and Wm Gailor certificates of their reputation for veracity, being informed it is quite unnecessary their names and signatures being well known at the War Department.
