Treasurer's Office, April 30, 1857.
Madam
In reply to your letter of the 21 st inst. you are informed that I have caused an examination of the suspended pension records herein for Alabama to be made, and it does not appear that an application has been filed in your name by either J. C. Barr, or any other person; now for we have no any claim to a pension, unless you are now a widow, then it would be shown that you just have just received the amount of service pension for  entitled to the pension to date. If you are now a widow, and can establish show that David Lemmer, your first husband, was died or naturally deceased, you should get a claim under the Act of July 9 th , 1838.

in accordance with the regulations, notice. If you have heard of the matter of that business, it is possible that under-gift, some, may be found in the office of the Com- mission at Raleigh, N.C. - if in the East- ern Central Line, you should apply to William Hall, Esq. Secy of Work at that place. But I repeat, that unless you are now under the same make no promise for you.
Yours sincerely C. C. H. H.
