Sir
Skene Douglas Sackett a Pensioner who drew $80. at the Pittsburgh Agency, or perhaps, at the Cleveland Agency since the establishment of an Agency there has since deceased, and in an interview with the widow I think the Pension was too small. Will you answer the following queries?
1st What is the full of pay of a private as meant by the acts of Congress of May 15th 1828 and June 17, 1832? 2) If a soldier has drawn less than the amount to which they  he was entitled, may the widow draw the arrear of increase due to such soldier? 3) If Sackett entitled for and during the war, and was discharged at the proclamation of peace, was he not entitled to Bounty Land? and if so, if not drawn, can the widow draw it?
I hope you will not consider me asking too much by answering the above queries. answering your queries  Mem By them  you may save yourself trouble, perhaps, as well as me.
Will you please to forward the form established by the Department under which to obtain Revolutionary Bounty Land?
With Consideration I am your most obt. Svt J. F. Asper
