Sir,
In the case of John Littlepage, dec d the pension was paid to the 23 rd March 1820, the day of his death. I am unable to say whether there the widow acquired a right to a pension for five years, as we do not know at what time the marriage took place, and when she died.
The Comm r . of the General Land Office will inform you whether Scrip, or a patent, has been issued on land warrant No 2037 in this case, if you will address him on the subject.
