During these four years after her husband's de- cease, and while she lived in poverty, through infirmity or forgetfulness, to draw the pension which her husband owed till his death to which

she herself was of course entitled. This sum, I presume is due to the heirs; and I now write to ask you what course it is necessary for me to adopt to obtain for the heirs this amount. Hoping to hear at your convenience

Dear Madam:
In compliance with the request contained in your communication of September 2, 1938, you will find enclosed information concerning Edward Shults, Julius C. Shults, Charles Shults, Amos Bolster, and Charles Woodruff Woolley. A careful investigation fails to disclose pension claims based on the services of John and Stephen Shults, Alanson Botsford, Jonathan Andrew and Edmund C. Fuller, and Joseph Wellman.
The Veterans Administration is precluded by law from furnishing information from the records of World War veterans. Therefore it is suggested that you write to the Adjutant General's Office, War Department, Washington, D. C., for information concerning De Witt Crampton.
Your inquiry concerning the Revolutionary War record of William Stone will be answered under separate cover.
By direction,
W. C. BLACK, Chief Clerk.
