Hon. J. O. Howe -
My Dear Sir:
I have written to the present Com te of Pensions, begging for copies of certain Revolutionary pension statements, to aid me in historical researches. These requests have until lately been most kindly complied with. I apprehend that Bureau is deficient in its clerical force.
Perhaps you may feel disposed to drop a line to the Commissioner in my behalf. I am at this time especially anxious for a transcript of the pension papers of De Jonathan Maynard, of Framingham,

Mass., who died in 1833 - His widow Lois , a year or two later - & I suppose one or both enjoyed the benefit of the Act of 1832. I am very desirous of tracing Mr. Maynard's Revolutionary services; & as he left no descendants, & the notices of his death are brief, my last hope seems to be the Pension Bureau.
I believe one volume 7 th of Collections was sent you at Green Bay. If you desire more copies, let me know. Very Truly Yours, Ezra C. Dyer.
