Commissioner of Pensions
Dr Sir
Reuben Dudd was a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States, and died in October 1834 leaving a widow to whom he was married on the 27 th of Nov 1791. after the last period of his service. The widow died in June 1839 leaving several children who are desirous of obtaining the pension to which she was entitled under the act of July 7 th 1838
I suppose there can be no doubt, but that if the widow were still living, she would be entitled to a pension under that act, and the only question with me is whether her heirs, upon making proper the proof, can obtain this pension to the time of her death, she having failed to apply for it in her life time. I can however see no reason why they are not, but for greater certainty, before taking the proof. I desire to take your opinion upon the subject. Will you therefore favor me with the necessary information upon this subject at your earliest convenience, and if the heirs are entitled to the pension, please furnish the forms, and regulations established at by the War Office in such case, so as

to enable me to prepare the paper
With considerations of brief respect I remain
Yours &c.
