Dear Sir
Sometime since I had occasion to address you in be- -half of Mrs. Savannah Wormwell widow of Nathaniel Worm- well late of Guilford - Me - respecting her pension which was arranged by way of G. W. Morton Esq. of Augusta - Since which time Mrs W has rec d information that there is still due to her - (how not stated) something like a Hundred Dollars more ————— Mr Rose of Augusta formerly managed her husband's pension & allow- ed himself to be in arrears to him for a considerable time & from con- -versation between them rehearsed by Mrs W - to me I presumed that Mr Rose had drawn all that could be due & after his paralysis allowed the account to get deranged - She now desires that the subject should be investigated & looks to me for assistance - I am hardly sufficiently versed in the business to know whether any thing is wanted or requisite to obtain the order for payment at the pension office in this state so that her power of attorney would secure it to her or not - For this information I this information I wish to trouble the Department & from the uniform kindness & prompt- -titude to all my numerous enquiries I hope to obtain - I understand by her that the business could be done by her securing a fee of 20 Dollars a sum she thinks quite too considerable for a poor widow to give es- -pecially in uncertainty — as a friend therefore I am willing to assist her — There is another complaint & application for redress from Sarah Wy- -man of Madison, Somerset, Co. - Me - widow of Henry Wymen deceased She was borne on the list (as she states to me) under the Act of July 7 th 38 as may be seen in her declaration upon oath at Eighty Dollars per annum and drew 40 Dollars semi- -annually as follows - 115 Dollars (probably 120 expenses out) arrears then Your since all drafts of 40 Dollars = 280 leaving a deficit of 120 Dollars

of a five years pension at Eighty Dollars per annum. For which in poverty & dependence she prays redress. It won't seem that she should have either have drawn more in the first instance or that she should not have been cut off previous to the expiration of five full years from the date of her certificate - If she states the case right (which she may have failed to do in her old age) I can't see but it is a parallel case with Mrs Wormwell's before alluded to - Had it been intended to have closed their receipts in '41 - Some might have been enrolled in the intermediate time so late as to have drawn the whole sum which the original certificate guaranteed or nearly so at one time - which does not seem to have been the policy in any case - The conclusion forces itself on the mind that the intention must have been that semi annual payments should be observed throughout & of course should have been continued five full years for it cannot be supposed for a moment that (even in this age of wonders) that the Government of all the North American twenty six States would grant a poor widow a pension certificate running for five years or $400 Dollars and pay only 280 on it - The attention of the Department to these subjects will very much oblige the widows of the deserving & the sharers of their anxieties & toils

Inclosed is the Declaration of Sarah Wyman of Madison Widow of Henry Wyman a Revolutionary Soldier - And I would just remark that in your letter to me she is said to be entitled to pay from "4 th of March '36 to 17 th of January '37" which does not conform to the fact either by mistake here or at your Office - her husband died in July as she states & I know & very well remember it was in the summer - his death was sudden & he had cabbage the morning previous which gave it some notoriety - It should probably be July 27 of '37 or '38 - I have no doubt it is '37 - she states she has rec d in round numbers 2.80 dollars which will nearly correspond at to July 17 th '37 as the time of the death. From the statement in your favor as to Mrs Wormwood & previous notice from a Mr Fales I have written a declaration for her & enclose it -

Dear Sir
Notwithstanding all favors I have rec d from your office & at your hands I must beg to trouble you still further in regard to the case of Sarah Weyman & if it conflicts a little with your regulations I hope it may be pardoned in behalf of a poor old Widow — I made application for the arrears of a five years half pay pension under the Law of 1836 granting & her certificate was duly rec d & her pen- sion paid to 1841 the expiration of five years from the passage of the act — leaving something over one Hundred Dollars due to her by a solemn promise under seal of the U. States — It was then understood that the time her husband lived was confined to those five years only "36 to "41 I subsequently made application in behalf Mrs Wormwell whose husband died within a very short time of the one in question & obtain- ed through Mr Morton the balance of five years pension — In the last communication from the Department I rec d a copy of a letter from you which says "Sarah Weyman claiming arrears from March 4 th "36 to July 17 th "37" meaning "38 the time of Weyman's Death, throwing it back to that decision which seemed to have been reversed by the case cited & many others and then says "I have to state that the case is barred by the act of April 30 "44" — If the decision is based on that law entirely I can hardly see how it can effect the case of Sarah Wey- man throwing the former cases out of sight — as the last paper I rec d from the Department stated in substance that the claim was allowed & on the return of that paper duly executed the necessary order for payment was to be given — This was sent it seems by the copy of your letter of Aug t 10 "44 in Dec r 5 th "43 — near six months before the passage of that law — I don't see how the question should rest on the time the husband lived after March 4 th "36 for the Certificate says Five years half pay & is dated (I quote from memory) in "38 — In some cases I am aware there were exceptions but not so in this — I wish here to remark that letter of Aug t 10 "44 was not rec d by me — The question does not seem to me to rest on the fact that her husband lived one year or two after the passage of the act or the 4 th of March "36 but whether as some others did it shall run five years from date as by its tenor seems right & consequently run beyond the exact five years even

braced in '36 to '41 — These suggestions are made in order to obtain what seems to me right without the least idea of bringing out any thing new & I wish to add that the widow who has an existing claim on expired time can not I presume even under the act of April 30 "44 — be barred from receiving a pension under a new Act — The naked case then stands thus — The law was passed in July 1836 to commu— M rs M ary P er sons, M ary M ary died I think July 17 "38 (M rs Wormwell July 5 "38) her certificate was issued in '38 or 9 — She was cut off in '41 — with about 120 Dollars due — Application was made in about '42 for arrears, a document returned stating that "the case was allowed" & on return would be consummated — You will extend some charity to the prolixity of this paper as it seems my duty to set it out as explicitly as in my power & so plain does it seem that I shall feel bound to petition Congress if it cannot be allowed by your regulations — I remain with much respectful consideration your much obliged humble servant

Mr. Elizer Witheren of Cambridge was engaged to procure Bounty Land for Sarah Wyzman under the act of '55 - having recd a line from you suspending the claim she became dissatisfied with him & has paid him as she informs me to assist her - It is strange that he should have passed the ordeal of procuring a pension twice & she twice that nothing should have come up like a record - It is to be regretted that the few dropping stubs of the Rev- olutionary benefit of limbs & exposed to the shafts of winter winds should have to die in grief for the "unmerciful foundation" of their country chil- dren literally with ingratitude - It is strange that they should be compelled to seek the Country for proof after having, a mere shadow of an army satisfied the Govt once the benefits of which will extend to not over 5 years of already old age "rather sigh & groan than live" at most - Magnanimity is a name - I repeat what I before stated that Wyzman served in Capt Crocker's Co Col d Green's Regt was a 3 years man perhaps this you have in his declaration - resided in Madison Som e Co Me when he joined - They have been unfortunate he was pensioned too low & had to try again 1821 then she was in for 5 yrs & cut off in two or three & had to fight for a rise at an ex- pense of one years pension in all to get right - I repeat too what I have before stated that this class of cases might & should I think be allowed to claim a pro rata - that the old saints may see the light of sturdy justice before they depart in peace

Dear Sir
Permit me to address you on the subject of Mrs Sarah Wyman's right to Land under the Law of March 3 rd 55 one year ago to day — A Mr Hooper took the Declaration a Co Worker with one Eliza Wetheren & when it was stated from the pension Office that you could find no proof of service & in the language of My letter the friends thinking I was more potent friend than (Hooper) I appealed to you & thinking there might be room for mistake I stated to you I think the Captain & Col o under whom Wyman served & still applied to the record to be sure of all facilities — And here I would observe that under such circumstances the rule of evidence works untold mischief. The simple idea that a Revolutionary soldier draws his pension for years & then at 85 or 90 should be called on for evidence of service is to a common sense view a little short of "sublime" — The authority I have to act in the case I sent to Massachusetts as you will see by my letter attached to the certificate attached to the letter itself retained in Office — you will see by that I am trusted by them & known — though what is to be inferred from their letter & the enclosed paper forwarded to Wetheren & his note on the blank leaf — I now send the certificate of the Sec y of State & accompanying paper & with all future communications addressed to me by their request — I repeat that if any thing can be done to give her justice it will show true faith may be given to the promises of Gov t if she don't get the good of it it will repay the interest up already accumulated — Therefore I beg that I may not be disappointed in my inducement to send brevity to you being dispatch & promptitude
Yours very much obliged

The widow lives 40 miles from me & thinks I can do any thing having got her some 100 Dollars back pay & get her pension raised from 80 to 96 Dollars - therefore I would rather do what can be done sooner than I can bring it about in the usual way & wish the examination made & reported if any thing can be found as soon as may be for she is about 90 years old & sick & I fear will not live to obtain Land - Any charges you claim I will pay when reported - If I fail I hope you will remit the fees as no chance exists if the old Lady dies -
With respectful Esteem
Yours truly
Ebenezer Weston
