Pension Office, April 5 th 1837
Sir;
The claim of Mrs. Ann Lovelace, for pension as the widow of Philip, has been received, examined & suspended.
The claimants declaration is signed, without doubt, by the clerk of the court. As Mrs Lovelace, evidently, authorized the clerk to affix her name to the declaration. Therewith return the same for the clerk to so certify.
The Claimant must prove her widowhood, identity & the death of her alleged husband.
It would be advisable for her to set forth maiden name in an affidavit & prove that she & her alleged husband lived & cohabited together as man & wife.

Very Respectfully, L P Howard Commissioner.
John Powell, Esq. Republican Mills, Fairfax Co. Va.

Dear Sir,
The enclosed papers were handed Orlando Punnell by Jackson on Sunday morning who left them at my house & informed me of it down street. I did not think of them afterwards until too late for Wednesday's mail & as they could not be received by you until Saturday, I kept them, thinking you would be here on Wednesday . The bad weather I suppose kept you home. I now send them & hope the delay has caused no inconvenience. The objection of the Commissioner is in my opinion a frivolous one —
Resp. Yours,
