J. P. Waldo Esq. Washington D.C.
White Pa July 7 th 1856.
Sir Zilpha Horner, widow of Isaac Horner, deceased a Soldier of the Revolution, wishes to know whether her declaration, and accompanying evidence is on file, in the Pension office. Seymon Burns Esq. drew up the necessary forms and collected the evidence in this case, in 1830. He died soon afterwards, at Cincinnati Ohio. No trace of the papers can be found. The presumption is they are on file, in the Pension Office. The widow is very old and feeble, (96) her recollection is quite indistinct; of the services of her husband, he entered the service from the State of New Jersey, under the command of Captain Philips Snookes, (or Snockes) as a musician, and was promoted to a drum Major. Isaac Horner, was married to Zilpha, in 1794 or 95. Mr Burns procured the record from New Jersey establishing the fact. It is with the missing evidence I am aware there is serious objections urged by the department, against answering interrogatories propounded to them in advance of the declaration of the claimant. This case will not meet the objection, from the fact that a declaration has been made by the claimant. I hope you will give the necessary instructions, in this case, when you are satisfied that it is a meritorious one.
One word in reference to the Latimore, claim, in looking over the list of Pensioners from Pa. I see the name of William Latimore, of Greene County, under the act of March 18 th  1816 1818. It is strange that he should be classed among the "Revolutionary Pensioners," when it does not appear by the records, that he ever applied for or drew a pension under any of the acts of congress. He died on the 29 th of July, 1845. Elizabeth Latimore, drew the balance of pension due her father from the 4 th of March, up to the day of his death.
Yours Respectfully Em. Morris

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request information in regard to the following Revolutionary War soldiers or their widows, all of Greene County, Pennsylvania; John Anderson; William Latimore; Abraham Scott; George Heaver or Haver, wife, Elizabeth; John Ville(Villers), widow, Elizabeth; Abraham Boyd; Alexander Dollison, widow, Elizabeth; Andrew Myers, Reuben Mickle and Elizabeth Smith.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited clerical force available for furnishing such information, it has not been possible to make, for one person or organization, a series of investigations and reports pertaining to soldiers of that war. You are furnished herewith the histories of John Anderson and William Latimer, the data for which are obtained from the claims for pension based upon the services of those soldiers in the Revolutionary War.
It is regretted that your letters could not have answered at an earlier date.
Very truly yours
