Sir
A few days since a Mr. Jonathan Kimball of Mendon County of Worcester, Mass. applied to me to take an examination, on application for a pension. He stated to me that he had previously made application to Judge Jonathan Leavitt of Greenfield, Mass & that the papers in that case were missing. I now understand that a certificate has issued under the application to Judge Leavitt. I therefore request that no further proceedings be had under the application made to me.
Yours as required

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions:-
I regret that in previous request an error in name was made. As lady is trying now to join patriotic societies she'd be grateful for prompt reply on below:-
Kindly give record of JONATHAN KIMBALL, b. 1751, died July 31, 1823, said to have been a pensioner. We have not his residence while serving, nor where his children were born, nor place of marriage, nor date of his wife's death. The birth of wife, Mary Cheney is given as Mendon, Sept. 28, 1752, md. July 7, 1781.
NICHOLAS DANFORTH, of Billerica, Mass. died in N.Y. about 1800, but thought that perhaps wife or family might have had some pensions. It was claimed that they had pension.
An early reply will be gratefully received.
I received the photostatic copy of record of Jesse Stout. Was there any other Stout, who had pension, who moved to Ill.? Some facts did not agree with what family had.
Thanking you for your courtesy in above matters,
I am, yours sincerely,
Mrs. Chas. R. Hume
