Sir
In the early part of the year 1840, the papers of Mrs Mary Pedrick (late Mallack) who claimed a pension for services performed by her first husband Isaac Mallack dec d - was sent to your office, proof was produced of her marriage with Isaac Mallack, of his death - and of the death of her late husband Samuel Pedrick, and the proof of the services set forth in the Declaration, as I understood from Mr Crump who examined the papers, was satisfactory - but Mr Pedrick was not at that time the widow of Isaac Mallack, dec d - she was the widow of Sam e Pedrick dec d - and for this reason her claim was rejected - since then as I understand, the pension laws have been so modified as to authorize the

the granting of a pension to a widow under such circumstances - and if so. I presume Mr Pedrick (or her children for she is now dead) can receive the pension - will you please cause the papers to be re examined - and inform me of the result
Very Respectfully
Yrs &
J. C. Smallwood
The claim was made under the act of July 7 1838 -
