Sir,
The papers which you transmitted to this Department in the case of Thomas Gofling have been examined. He must amend his declaration by designating the regiment in which he served. This the law makes indispensably necessary in every case of the kind. Let him give the name of the colonel, and the number of the regiment. The account of Messrs. Rives & Brown, or a certified copy of it, must also be exhibited: as also the deed of trust, which he gave to them, or a certified copy of the same. As the records of this Department contain no evidence of the service of Gofling, the discharge accompanying his declaration, which is herewith enclosed must be returned to this Office.
I enclose herewith a pension certificate for Rowland Estis.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully, Your Ob't Serv't. J. L. Edwards

By the act of Feb y 2. 1848 an increase, commences the 4 th of March - 1848! But by the Resolution, or Act of July 1, 1848 (which I have before you), it expressly states, that in all cases where a pension may have been granted to an off r . or sold r . of the Revolution in his life time, the widow upon proper proof of marriage shall be placed on the pension Roll at the same rate that her husb d . rec d . in his life time!! Her husb d . Thos. Lofling, no. 2896. paid in his life time, and died prior to July 7, 1838 - or March 4 th 1838, - and consequently the widow, by the plain reading of the act of July 1. 1848 is entitled to the Increase from the 4 th of March, 1838 - and should you refuse to issue the certificate from that time, I shall, and do appeal to the att d . Genl. for his written opinion in regard to the proper construction of the 4 th July 1/48 law, before we can acknowledge, in merely being allowed the Increase from the 1 st of July 1848.
