Lewiston Falls Maine January 29th 1857 To the Commissioner of Pensions, Sir,
You will please find enclosed land warrant No 53.672 issued to Mrs Sally Maloon by mistake. I infer from your state- ments that her husband received 100 acres in his life time from his Revolutionary services.
I am well satisfied that the widow knows nothing of it. If she had she would have named it to the Magistrate, as she is one of the most common sense persons of her class within my knowledge.
Very respectfully, your obed Servt
