Pension Office, April 9, 1851
Sir:
The application of Mary Jones widow of Joseph, under the Act of July 7, 1838, has been received.
As it appears that her husband's services, if any, were rendered in the campaign against the Indians after the close of the Revolution and as no provision is made for pensioning the widows of those so employed, it is useless to point out the defects in this application.

Sir:
In reply to that part of your letter of the 16" June last, which relates to the claim of Mary Jones widow of Joseph under the Act of July 7, 1838, you are informed that from the statement made of the service of soldier, it was and is presumed that he served in the Indian War only , after the close of the Revolutionary War, for which no provision is made by the Pension Laws. If he actually served in a military capacity as much as six months in the War of the revolution and you can make it so appear to this Department a pension will be granted.
( signed ) John Wilson.
