Sir:
Some time in April last I sent the Pension Papers, or Claim of Elizabeth Kellogg, Widow of Eldad Kellogg deceased. Late a Pensioner of the United States. About the last of April I received a Printed Circular from the War Department, and my attention was directed to the following Paragraph — "Persons frequently transmit papers to this office without any letter showing by whom they are sent. All such Papers will hereafter be placed on our files and then remain until the necessary inquiries be made by the Partis Government,"
On the receipt of this Note I immediately addressed a line to the Com. of Pensions, informing him that the Papers were prepared and forwarded by myself as attorney for the above mentioned Elizabeth Kellogg, who is my Brother and resides with me. Fearing that my note had miscarried, I have taken the liberty to write again; and if my former Note was received and the Claim is on file to be attended to in the order in which it was received; it would confer a great favour on me if you would address a brief note to me and give me the information; as I am uncertain at present whether the Claim is in a course of investigation; or whether it is remaining on file under the rule referred to above.

Sir: — A Circular has been duly received, directed to Mrs. Elizabeth Kellogg, containing certain regulations &c to be observed by applicants for Pensions. Particular attention turned directed to that part of the Circular, stating that a Person frequently transmit papers to this Office without any letter showing by whom they are sent. — In reply I should say that the Papers in the case of the application of the said Elizabeth Kellogg for a Pension were prepared and transmitted to the Pension Office, by me, as a Agent or Attorney for, both the said Elizabeth Kellogg who now resides with me in the Township of Harpersfield, Ashtabula County and State of Ohio. — The papers were made out under the direction of J. R. Giddings Member of Congress; and in conformity with a form obtained by Mr. Giddings at the Pension Office and transmitted to me during the last Winter. — If the Papers are found to be correct and the Testimony sufficient to entitle the applicant to a Pension, I am directed respectfully to request that she may be Paid her Pension at the Pittsburgh Agency in the State of Pennsylvania; where my Father, the late Eldad Kellogg (Deceased) drew his Pension up to September 4 th 1836. — I remain

Dear Sir
As Agent or Attorney for the widow Elizabeth Kellogg I forwarded an application for a Pension for her some time in the Year 1839, under the Act of 1838.
This application was rejected on the ground of her not being a Widow when the act of 1838, was passed.
That cause of objection having been removed, as I understood by a different construction to the Act, I again forwarded her application some time in March or April last, which was, I understand presented by the Hon. D. P. Tilden M.C.
I recd a few days ago a Letter signed by E. B. Worcester. Stating that she understood the Claim was now rejected on the ground of her Marriage not having taken place prior to January 1 st 1794.
There must have been some mistake, I think, in examining the dates; as the papers on file (the old family record) shows that her Marriage took place some ten or Eleven years prior to 1794. Since She having been Married in the year 1783. as (If I recollect aright) the record will show.
I have taken the liberty to write directly to you for information respecting the Claim. Will you be so good as to inform me what disposition has been made of the Claim, and if it has been rejected, please state specifically on what ground. If the Claim is finally rejected at the Pension office, will you please to send me a copy of the family record and of the application made in 1839. (as I kept no copy,) and shall want a copy of the original papers to prepare a Memorial or petition to Congress at its next session.
I know the Claim to be equitable and Just, and if it comes within the meaning of the Act, I hope it may yet be favourably received. I hope you will give the subject early attention and give me the desired information as soon as convenient.
I remain Respectfully Your Obt. Servt

Warren Ct Aug 5. 1853, Comt of Pensions
Sir
Herewith I forward you the application of Elizabeth Kellogg of this County for an increase of Pension. As appears from the Certificate of Pension issued on the eighth of Sept. 1819 by J. C. Calhoun Secy of War, under act of Act March 18, 1819 to Eldad Kellogg, the husband of Elizabeth. She is entitled to $96 per Annum, whereas she draws but $60.00
The act of Congress of July 1, 1848 places widows on the roll at the same rate as their husbands. This makes the matter perfectly plain.
Eldad Kellogg died in 1838 or 39. which will make 11 or 12 years of arrearage at $36 per year.
The matter is so plain and directly within the purview of the Law of 1848, that I shall expect a reply very soon.
I have the honor to be Sir

The new certificate said payable at Pittsburgh omitting the name of the agent. The payment of Mrs Kelloggs Pensions has been transferred to Cleveland sometime ago. I supposed that you had made out the new Certificate to conform to the old one; and hence inserted Pittsburgh - I made out the paper to draw the pension and sent them to Cleveland, and the agent replies that he has not yet received the Certificate. Will you have it forwarded immediately? So that Mrs Kellogg can draw her pension.
