Sir
Should a Pension be granted Mrs Mary Loveland, it would be desirable that it should be payable at the Pension Agency in New York - as it could then be received by Mr Norton Perkins Esq a friend and a relative of Mrs Loveland. His residence is at this place - but his business is in New York - being late of the Banking House of Winthrop & Perkins and now Treasurer of the Illinois Central Rail Road.
As Mrs Loveland resides in Halifax N- Scotia - to comply with the usual form prescribed for receiving Pensions at an Agency, would require much delay and cause great inconvenience. I enclose a Power of Attorney to Mr Perkins from Mrs Loveland and shall be much obliged if you will return it to me, with an endorsement authorizing Mr Perkins

To receive the Pension at the Agency in New- York, or in some other way so to modify the usual form required for receiving Pensions as that Mr Perkins may represent Mrs Loveland. Otherwise the annual payment becomes due - The delay and expense of sending to Halifax, be- side the trouble, will materially lessen the value of the Pension.

I enclose her application which was made out at Halifax N - Scotia where she has long resided - Being without the jurisdiction of the U. States I am at a loss to determine how her claim should be authenticated - If the enclose is deemed satisfactory proof of her marriage shall be forwarded without delay - If not please inform me, in what manner her application shall be authenticated. As the certificate of her husband was never recorded, Mrs Loveland is indebted at what Agency he drew his Pen- sion - but as his name is upon the Pension Roll in the Pension Office, it is deemed that fact is unimportant -

If it should be deemed otherwise by the Department, will you please inform me of the agency - so that no time may be lost by the applicant; who is in feeble health - very respectfully Yr. Abt. Servt Chas. L. Allen

Yrs This morning are you returned favor of the 19 th inst. in regard to Mr Loveland's Bounty Land I notice that the Warrant cannot be issued in the name of Mr Nock unless a regular assignment of the claim be first obtained from Mr Loveland. As Mr L. resides in Nova Scotia and his son-in-law Mr Nock in the western part of this State. Considerable delay must take place before the necessary papers can be accomplished. I would therefore beg have to suggest that the warrant be issued in the name of Mr Loveland and he can make the assignment at his pleasure afterwards.
If this can be effected. could you not enclose the warrant in an envelope and direct it to Mr Loveland to my care and I will see that it is forwarded to Mr Loveland.

NAME Loveland, Daniel GRADE Private LINE Connecticut
WARRANT NUMBER 6085 ACREAGE 100 ISSUED Nov. 24, 1791 to Isaac Bronson
*The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800" which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent dates.
