Sir,
It appears by your letter of the 18. July last, that the widow of John Tindall wishes to obtain the amount of pension that may be due her late husband under the act of June 7. 1832. Some further proof is necessary in order to show what he was entitled to at the time of his death. If he served as alleged in his declaration, some evidence thereof may be found in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton. The widow should make a declaration under the act of June 7. 1832, in a Court of Record, and produce proof that she is the widow of the decedent.
I am respectfully
Your Obdt. Servt.
