Sir,
I herewith enclose paper for the purpose of having a claim of Mrs Sally Kimball to a pension allowed. It will be noticed that her declaration was made to avail herself of the benefit of the Act of July 7. 1838, but as her claim is barred by the Act of April last, I have sent the declaration in order to have her claim under Acts of March 3. 1843 & June 17. 1844 allowed, supposing it will not be necessary for her to make another declaration, as she is aged and quite infirm, and cannot without great inconvenience appear again in Open Court. Her late husband Nathaniel Kimball died on the twelfth day of October 1843 and she rec d the pension as his widow at the Maine Agency from Sept. 4. 1843 to the day of his death (Octo 12. 1843)
Should her paper be satisfactory I would respectfully request you to transmit to me, for her a certificate.
