Dr Sir I herewith send you the application of Elizabeth Seibley for a pension, it was commenced long since but memory is so gone that she could not inform me the name of the Clergyman who married her and as she belonged to the Lutheraus it was only lately that I thought of enquiring of the Pastor of the Episcopal, Her husband drew up to the 4 th of March last and died three months after so that about $300.00 would be due at his death, if that could be included in her certificate it would save trouble in getting it and for that purpose I send the Certificate.
If any thing can be done for Mrs Seibley - Mr Stehley & the above please have it done soon as they are really in need of it.

Sir,
Enclosed you will receive the Declaration of Elizabeth, widow of Andrew Leibley, asking for a Pension of five years, under the act of July 7 th 1838, in consideration of the services of her husband who received a pension until his death in June 1839. From some papers and a letter from you, dated June 15 th 1841, which she has in her possession, I find that she applied in June 1841, and also on a former occasion, and the only objection to her claim was that her husband died after the act of July 7 th  June 1 st 1838, and of course did not extend to her case; but as the law passed March 3 rd 1843, to allow pensions in such cases, she here claims the benefit of the law. The proof of her marriage you will find among her filed papers. I would here state that her name is called differently by the people — some calling it Lively — others Leibley. — I think Lively is the old way.
I am very respectfully Your esteemed friend J. B. Kaufman

Dear Sir,
Mrs Seibley, widow of late Andrew Seibley Esq. called upon me this morning and informed me that she received a letter from a Gentleman of Washington City, stating that the certificate which you sent me about 4 months ago for five years pension at the rate of 20. dols. per annum, making $100. should have been $200. instead of $100. and that he would undertake to procure the other $100. for her. If this is really the case, that her full amount, which she should have been allowed, has been withheld, I think the Department will send me a certificate for the other $100. Because Mrs Seibley censures me not a little for this gross negligence & attributes it entirely to a mistake in the Department, and not to a design on the part of the Officer to deprive her of her claim due —
The one year application which I forwarded immediately after you sent me the 5 year certificate, I have not heard anything of. It is now better than 4 months since you received it. I presume it has been forgotten - or mislaid, for it can hardly be probable that the Department is four months in arrear of its business. If she is entitled to 40 dollars instead of 20. I am sure the Department will allow it in the one year claim.
Very Respectfully Yours &c - W B Kaufman.
