Friend Ellison
Yours of the 28 th inst. enclosing the reply of the Commission of Pensions to my inquiry in relation to Pension Money due Mrs. Marshall Marshall cannot reach my hand.
It is not a full answer to my inquiries. I wanted to know
whether she is entitled to the provisions of the various acts of Congress making allowances to those widows who were married previous to January 1, 1800.
Is she not entitled, by virtue of the act of February 3 d 1853, to the benefit of the acts of March 3 d 1843, sec. 1; June 12. 1844, section 1 & 2; and July 29. 1848?
I presume no back pension money was due to her husband at the time of his death; but the application was made to cover all moneys from every source that might be due her.
I shall have to trouble you to make this additional inquiry from the Department on behalf of the widow. Very respectfully Mrs. John C. Marshall
