In the matter of the application of Mrs Jane Lansing, widow of Jacob J. Lansing, under the act of 7 th July 1838.
To J. L. Edwards Esq Commissioner of Pensions
Sir.
The last communication I received from you in reference to the above application, was dated July 24. 1839. In that communication you referred me to the office of the Comptroller of this State for further proof. Since which time I have anon addressed letters to the Comptroller asking for the required proof - but his clerks it seems, being otherwise engaged, my requests were not attended to. I have at length procured it, & some remarks respecting it seem to be called for. In one of the entries the name is given as Jacob F. Lansing instead of Jacob J. Lansing. That this is a Clerical error, is clear from the fact that the other officers of the company are identical (and to show this, the names of the other officers are given in the Certificate). In the second list of items it will be seen that another clerical error occurs, the word Corporal being given instead of Captain . Thus it will be seen that the service of L t Lansing as proved by

The Comptroller's Books alone for the years 1779, 1780. & 1781, exceeds in length 5 months of the service in the previous years of the war, I have adduced the best parole proof it has been in my power to obtain.
I am very respectfully
