The present claim is for the arrearage due the Estate. — It is very evident that there was an error made in the original allowance — as Asst. Comy. is entitled to $600 for full service.

"Also to ascertain on what grounds the "last pension was granted to his heirs, "what was the amount granted them & "by whom collected, also what the expenses "would be for collecting the same.
The foregoing is not a very clear statement, but if based upon the statement given, you can furnish

Sir.
I herewith return your papers. The declaration claims a pension for eight months & eighteen days including thirty days by orders of the Staff of Windham in 1777 which is not deemed a military service as contemplated by the Act of 7 June 1832. The computation of eighteen days for travelling and auxiliary employments is inadmissible in a claim for actual military service. The errors may be cured by making a statement before a magistrate, setting forth distinctly the time for which you claim & transmitting it with the return of the papers.

Hartford. March. 14 th Commissioner of Pensions.
Dear Sir. Will you excuse for intruding on you at this time — Wishing for information that cannot be satisfac- torily obtained from any source —
Will you explain to me how the pen- sion granted Roger Huntingtons their heirs in June. 10. 1851 — of seventy five dollars a year from March the fourth 1831 to November. 29, 1835. which amounted to Three Hundred and 50 dollars — has been reduced to one hundred and five dollars 8.54.
Will you please tell me what the expense of taking out the pension at the office under your charge at the seat of government —
Was the pension which was granted last June for my fathers service as a commissary or a private soldier — as he served in both capacities
There must be some mistake some where — I think — as there is but three heirs to inherit the pension — which has been reduced from one hundred sixteen dollars sixtyfive cent a piece down to thirty five dollars 19 cent each not one third of the sum granted
I shall be in this city a week or ten days longer and would deem it a favor if you would answer this at this place in so doing will

obviate the necessity of sending a person to Washington to enquire into it -
Yours with respect

Dear Sir - I have in your letter of the 16 th inst t and immediately began searching the Records of the Governor & Council of Safety, contained in one Volume commencing July 2 d 1775 and ending May 5 th 1778 myself & Son Alternately, and find no other entry therein concerning Prisoners kept by Sheriff Huntington at Windham but the annexed Extract, which I have got certified by the Compt of Public Accounts in whose Office the Records are deposited, and I should judge from the words of s d Record approving of the Guards being kept that there had not been any previous Resolves authorizing the enlistment of a Guard - It is probable that the Guard was raised by the advice of the Governor & afterwards approved by the Council to secure their payment, as I believe was often done in those days, from the necessity of acting at the moment -
Respectfully your obed t Serv t Isaac Spencer
