Sir Sir, enclosed I desire you the continuation of Phoebe Cobb for a pension under act of 3 d March 1843. As soon as convenient she will present to you one more Maine, which is for the amount of pension which was due her first husband (Carmel Babbit) from 4 th of March 1831 to the 10 th of May 1832 the time he died.
As it indispensable that in order to obtain the small amount above mentioned that she make declarations before some judge or court of records. She is unable now to travel to Portland which is the nearest court, and it will cost her fifteen dollars to have a judge go to her home this small claim I believe will be covered the 2 d section of the act of 1836.
I have the acts of 1836 & 1838 and the former presented by you, and if you have all the other pension acts on hand that you can spare you will very much oblige me by forwarding them to me by Mail together with the latest forms and regulations, yours truly M. L. Dugdale
