Dear Sir,
In the case of Mrs. Sarah Salomon deceased Whiland of Winnebagoshish deceased Claiming benefits of the act of 7th Feb 1855 & suspended for Clerk's Certificate as to date of marriage etc in which case I filed a Capital Mental Declaration for Mrs. Salomon. Since & since then it appears from the accompanying document that there is no record of said marriage or file in Wayne County. As I am informed by John Salomonberg that his Father was married to the Claimant after 1st January 1800 & that she died 10th April 1855 having doubts in reference to the proof of marriage heretofore furnished in the case I have given the date after which she was married and the name of my informant & the date of her death and considering the case a questionable one on account of the above date I wish to know if said Claim will be allowed after satisfactory evidence is presented in the case. Yours Sincerely

ding with the facts here stated I wrote to J. W. Griffith Esq. in reference to this case he stated that the claim would be allowed on proof of marriage death & identity of heir- ship but he was probably not aware of the true state of the case my attention was first called to this case from examining the report of the Secretary of the Interior with Statement of Neglected & Suspended Claims dated 23 d Feb 1852 I have investigated several of the claims therein reported & find but one that I consider a just claim I would wish to call your attention to the claim of Penny Mitchell widow of George Mitchell the heirs state that the claim has been allowed but that they have never been able to receive them many they have spoken to me to enquire into their case if aught be due it is right that it should be paid for they are truly in indigent circum- stances I have not investigated their claim sufficiently to decide on the justice of it Very Respectfully Yours J.
