To the Commission of Pensions Washington D.C.

East Thomaston May 3 rd 1846 To the Commission of Pensions, Sir,
At the request of a very excellent widow woman relict of Job Ingraham deceased I address you this letter of inquiry, having done no business as an attorney in this description of business.
Job Ingraham was born at Gloucester Sept r 15 th 1755 (and came & lived) in Thomaston in the County of Lincoln, State of Maine, to the time of his death - his wife, then Lucy Folsom , now his surviving widow, was born in Houghton, now Canton, June 11 th 1760 and they were married May 13 th 1778 - He was in Revolutionary Service, in Maine, under a Capt Lemons (or Lewis) I think in a Company at Parker's Islands at the mouth of the Kennebec River, Maine.
He applied for and received a pension as a Revolutionary Soldier - the money was paid to Horatioich Prince Esq of Thomaston. said Ingraham died some (one)

8 or 10 years ago - and received his pension regularly down to the time of his death. Said Herzkiah Prince is also dead.
She, the widow, supposes herself clearly entitled to a pension in right of, or under her late husband that all that may be necessary is to prove her marriage & that she is in truth the widow of said pensioner, in as much as the proof necessary to establish her claim must be on file at the department.
How is that? Is she entitled to a pension & if so under what act? What proof is necessary? Will you send me such blanks as shall be necessary? Is there or not on file all the necessary evidence in the case of Job Agraham ?
Very Respectfully Yrs Henry C. Lowell
