Dear Sir
A few days since I rec d from Your Office a pension Certificate for Mrs Sarah Lazell for $67. — In my letter to you enclosing her declaration, I mentioned that Mrs Lazell complained that her former Certificate was not enough, that her Husband as she believes drew $96. yearly and supposed she would be entitled to the same
If there is an error in the Amount perhaps it ought to be corrected, and possibly she may be mistaken in the Amount her Husband drew, If you will have the goodness to write me on the subject and give her the reasons for the difference in the amt. (if there is any difference) it will be a satisfaction to the old lady and will confer a favor on Sir Your

Please examine the subject and if she is entitled to any thing more she would be glad to receive it -
Will you have the goodness also to send me before the 4 th Sept next, a blank form of the power of attorney, to enable those widows to collect their money.
