2 Dear Cousin Mary, I received your letter of July 2/92
and I have been thinking of
it and of you very much
Some time since I received the claim of Mrs. Mary Hunt, the widow of Julius Hunt, who was a Pensioner for a Pension. I recd a letter from you informing me that the only difficulty in the case was; that the Declaration having been taken before a Justice of the Peace it ought to have been "Submit- ted to a Court of Record and sanctioned by it." I now enclose her Declaration prepared as directed by you; and as I have not a doubt of the entire justice of the case, and as she is very old, infirm, and destitute, having had much delay in her application; I most respectfully ask the favor, that it be disposed of at once, & the Pension Certificate sent to her very respectfully your friend & the last
