To the Hon d ————— Commissioner of pensions; sir. I take the liberty of addressing you as the most proper person to whom I could apply for information in the present case. which is as follows. In consequence of having a power of attorney (legally executed) I made application by William A. Whitetsy, a member of congress; in December 1849. for the collection of a pension due Hannah Lord as widow & heir of David Lord, Des d : Soldier in the Revolut- ionary war. Said Whitetsy presented the affi- -d t of Hannah Lord & Sophia Newberry, which were received and filed. I also received a letter stating what proof  was yet lacking to fulfill the Law which proof I understand has been obtained obtained and forwarded by Joshua Bickford, of the County of Morrow & State of Ohio. Now I wish you to write to me as soon as you receive this and let me know whether the said Pension can be obtained or not.
Ebene Smith.

Dear Sir
I enclose you the papers of Hannah Lord applying for Pension - it would have given me pleasure to have an interview with you myself but I suppose you are so much thronged by numbers of Congress that you have very little leisure - I have a number of applications on hand some of which I know must be submitted to Congress. I have no copy of the last pension law and if you could send me the last published I might be able to answer many of these enquiries myself without troubling you
Yours, very respectfully
