Dear Sir
I received to day the certificate of Mrs Judah Loveland payable at the Cincinnati Agency. We belong to the Pittsburgh Agency and draw all our Pensions there and it is much nearer and more convenient as we have no direct communication with Cincinnati, which is about three hundred miles from here whereas Pittsburgh is but one hundred and we have daily communication. Besides I have found the different agency very particular about paying any but those that belong to their agency. It would therefore be a great convenience if it is not too much trouble to transmit a certificate payable at the Pittsburgh Agency. - Mr Loveland drew $96. per year and I had supposed that she was entitled to full pay for the five years. I am of course know better. I merely suggest it not knowing but what it might have been an error of that occurred in reference to it.
