Will you please send me what information is to be had of Sarah Manning , a pensioner of the Revolution. I think her residence was Mont Vernon or Amherst, N. H. Possibly she lived in Massachusetts at time of her pension, but I think it surely was New Hampshire.
Kindly tell me what the name of her husband was, when and where he enlisted, and under whom he served.
The information will be thankfully received.

Sir In November last I received the Pension Certificate for Sarah Manning & Doroty Hayward under the act of March 1843 and immediately on receiving them I made out the necessary papers and sent to Concord to receive their semiannual payment, but could not get it because their names had not been returned to the Pension Agent, Therefore they waited until the 4 th of March last, and they procured again their papers sent on and could not get their money for the same reason as before, The Pension Agent had not received their names or orders to pay them.
You will perceive that there is a neglect or a mistake about the return of the above names and will undoubtedly correct it forthwith that the money may be paid over. In haste
