To the Commission of Pensions Sir
I wish to know if the children of Catharine Love deceased are entitled to back pension on making proper proof— Said Catharine Love was widow of Henry Love Revolutionary Pensioner who was disabled in the battle of York Town and discharged by Gen Washington and drew $60 per annum till his death in 1809— His said Widow drew her back pension after his death & is supposed to have drawn a pension till her death in Oct 7 th AD 1838— She lived in Luzerne Co Penn—
Please state if she was a pensioner & if there is due the heirs some back pension by establishing suitable facts— It is supposed that she drew her pension at Philadelphia from a Special Act of Pennsylvania Legislature.
Respectfully yours

Dear Sir in behalf of the widow of a deceased Pensioner I trouble you - Henry Love who was a Pensioner of $600. a year - Died August 27. 1809 & at the time of his death his Certificate was in the hands of a Man who had been in the habit of obtaining his Pension for him - he had drawn it in March 1809 - leaving at the time of his death nearly 6 months pay due - his widow Catharine Love called on the Man for the Certificate, but was put off from time to time & finally he said it was lost - She was therefore led to suppose she could not get it & it has lain until this day unless it has been obtained fraudulently - she therefore desires to know if said Pension from March 4. 1809 to Aug. 27. 1809 has been drawn & if so by whom - & if not drawn whether she can yet draw it by giving her Power of Atty. &c. if it was paid she thinks it must have been in the fall of 1809.
Yours. Respectfully M. S. Wilson
