Hon. Mr. Edwards, Commissioner etc Dear Sir,
Dennis me to inquire once more at your office. . . . Mrs. Anne Jones of Dover N.Y. - lately of Trent, Conn. Says, - That her late husband Mr. Isaac Jones (deceased) formerly of Dover (South Dover Post Office) N.Y., was a Revolutionary Pensioner; - that he received Ninety Six dollars annually until he died; - (May 28. 1837) She further says that she received for five years (ending March 4, 1841) Forty Dollars, Only , annually.
Now will the Commissioner, (if it be within his province so to do) Please inform me how much Isaac Jones drew annually, and also how much was allowed to his widow Mrs. Anne Jones , annually. The inquiry with me, Sir, is why she should not receive as much as her late husband received.
As I fear that there is some mistake, or something else about the case, I have ventured to trouble you on this occasion.
If I should be considered officious I would humbly say " The cause which I knew not, I searched out "
I remain, worthy Sir, Yours Affec'y

As the papers containing the supposed proof of a claim for a Pension in the case of Anna Jones of Kent, in the County aforesaid, and widow of Isaac Jones deceased formerly a Pensioner of the United States - are now on file at the Pension Department - said claim having been disallowed for the reason that the service of her husband terminated antecedent to their marriage, which took place in the year 1779 - I would refer you to them for the purpose of the said Anna Jones who is now living and continuing a widow-making and establishing a new claim under the late Law of the last session of Congress. Whether a Certificate under the late Law can extend back to embrace the period that would amount to a continuance of her husband's Pension I am not informed. Very Respectfully Yours Rufus Fuller Hon.
