Dear Miss:
In a memorandum left by me in the Pension Dept. asking if a Pension was given for Service of Robert Malone of N.C. I wrote that the name of his wife was Ann. That is a mistake. His wife was Millie He signed his Will at Northampton Co. N.C. in 1791. May have enlisted from Va. possibly Amelia. Property or money due here from this mentioned in his Will.
Cordially yours,
Yours, Fannie D. Walsh
