Sir
I herewith enclose the declaration & proofs for pension, in the case of Mrs Barbara Loder widow of Jonas Loder, late a pensioner on the New Jersey pension list of the act of 1818. I am personally acquainted with Mrs Loder, as also with her husband whilst living. She is, though poor considered respectable & entirely deserving as well as needy, her husband died in 1839. I hope sir you will give this case an early examination. I believe the claim is made out. There is no record of her marriage to be found. I made a good deal of search for it whilst I was in New Jersey last summer. The witness who swears to her marriage, is a Justice of the Peace, and one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas, in Cumberland County, & a man of great respectability & has been ever since my earliest recollections, one of the first votes I ever gave at the polls, was for George Douden as a candidate for the State Legislature.

Sir
I herewith enclose to you the declarations of Mrs Hannah Sheppard and Barbara Loder, and request you to send me the certificates of Pension to which they are respectively entitled as soon as it may suit your convenience to do so.
I submit to you whether, under the latter part of the "Joint Resolution relative to Evidence in applications for pensions," approved July 1 st 1848, Mrs Loder will not be entitled to a certificate of Pension for $96 a year, the same which her husband received, instead of $28, the sum which she has heretofore received; and if so, whether she will not also be entitled to the difference between the sums of ninety six and twenty eight dollars, from the date of her husband's death, in 1839, until the present time.
I also submit whether, under the said Joint Resolution, Mrs Sheppard will not be entitled to a certificate of Pension for

#20, the sum which her husband received instead of $53.33, the sum which she has heretofore received; and, if so, whether she will not also be entitled to the difference between the said sums of $100 dollars and $53.33, from 1836 until the present time.
In submitting these inquiries for your consideration, I do not wish you to think that I desire any forced construction, for the special benefit of the above named widows, of the Joint Resolution passed this session of Congress - Far from it. I consider it my duty to call your attention to the subject, and shall be entirely satisfied with whatever construction yourself, or those to whom you deem it your duty to refer the matter, shall, in their wisdom, put upon the said Joint resolution.
I shall not trouble you with any reasons in defence of a liberal construction of the resolution, because from the great experience which you have had in such matters, they will readily suggest themselves to your mind.
I wish you would enclose with the new certificates two or three of such

printed forms as it will be necessary to follow in order to draw the levies
very respectfully
