Sir,
Ebenezer Mason now dec d was pensioned under Act of June 7. 1832 at $30. per mensem. was paid his pension at the U.S. Agency in the State of Maine to Sept 4. 1848 from which time to January 19. 1849 Hannah Mason his widow received the pension as his widow. The papers herewith enclosed are transmitted in order to have Hannah Mason the widow pensioned under the 2 d Section of the Act of Feb 3. 1853. A discrepancy will be noticed in the time asserted by her and the Certificate of the Clerk of the town where her marriage was solemnized at the time arising from the fact that she made the statement from memory before the Certificate was obtained, which I suppose will not prejudge her the claim. Should the papers be satisfactory I would respectfully request to have her claim allowed and a pension Certificate sent to me for her.
Very respectfully
