Boston Mass. February 8, 1854.
Sir,
The children of David Lord, a U.S. Revy. Pensioner have brought me his certificate, which is numbered 10050, dated April 30, 1849, which gives the said Lord a pension of $8 pr. month, under the act of March 18, 1818, payable at the Massachusetts Agency, and commencing on the 7 th of April 1848.
The children desire to learn when he was last paid. There is a small sum due them of arrearages, - and if it is enough to make it worth their while to apply for it, they desire to do so. The pensioner died in 1821.
