Sir
As the request of Mrs. Anna Lee to whom the within Pension Certificate was granted Entitled to a Certificate, and make the following statement - Mrs. Lee made declaration of 14 Months Service of her husband - viz. 2 terms of 3 Months each and one of 8 Months & she expected the proof was satisfactory to establish her claim to a Pension for the 14 Months - - The certificate as you will perceive entitles her to only $37.31 1/4 p. Annum - Although not according to expectations, it was thought probable that the proof was not considered satisfactory to entitle the whole 14 Months, and she accordingly forwarded to the Agt. at Boston her Power of Atty. for the money - This has been rec d . with a memorandum from the Agt. that the Amnt. does not agree with the amount reported to him.
For these reasons the Certificate is understood to you, that the error, whatever it may be, may be made right.
With Much Respect,
Yours Obtd
