Isaac died after July 1838. His widow made application for the benefits act 7 July 1838. Not being a widow on the 7 July 1838. the application was disallowed; by reference to her papers there facts will be shown.
I express the hope that her letter to me, will be sufficient to justify a certificate being issued, without further application.

Brookfield December 24 th 19 th 1892
Dear Sir
I received your letter a few days since and felt truly grateful that there was some prospect of my getting a pension, and that you was willing to undertake in my behalf; I do indeed need it in my advanced age; and infirm state of health, to make me comfortable; And I have always felt that in justice I had a claim as (strong) although it was not granted me) that ought to be attended to as well as those that did get the pension
As I was Married in about one year or a little more after the War was closed, and my Husband by long sickness in the Army had his constitution very much impaired, I feel that I had shared in some great measure in the toils and hardships which entitled him to a pension from his country to which he was a long and faithful Soldier -
Knowing and feeling all this, together with the need I have of it, to make me comfortable, I have thought if I had a friend in Washington with whom I could correspond (as Congress seems not to reach my case) they would try and get it for me As I have already been to considerable expense and trouble to try to get the pension, I am not able to do any more unless I could get it established; and Sir if you will undertake and get it well established for me I shall hope to see you well compensated
Yours very Respectfully
my papers are all at the War Office

renewed the Application of Anor Lockwood of Connecticut. for a Pension and recd for Answer the enclosed Letter. which case I wish you to reexamine as I am told by David Brooks Esq of Stratford Conn. that you have agreed to allow a Pension to the Widow of Asur Curtis of Stratford for 5 years which claim stands on the same ground as Anor Lockwoods which has been rejected for no other reason than she was not a Widow until after the Passage of the Act of July 7 th 1838. Mr Brooks says that it is now allowed under a Resolution of Congress passed 16 th August 1842. as I understand The 2. cases is, that Asur Curtis died in Nov 1838 & Isaac Lockwood the husband of Anor in December 1838. both husbands were Pensioners

and were both married previous to the year 1794. and neither have married since the deaths of their husbands As the law is now in the favor of I know you will please send me the certificate as you have her Declaration & her renewed application on file in your office —
