I have bin the stay and support of both of my Parents. I have been enabled to keep them together until Mary was seperated by death, through my strict attention to Business which has impaired my health, & any assistance she can receive will lighten my Burden. Application was made last Summer in the hope of obtaining a Certificate in time to have drawn on Sep r 4 th but we seemed surrounded by delays. Application was made about that time through the management of John Dakeeman Esq r of this City and all the evidence that I supposed necessary was obtained & forwarded by him, but no return has been received therefrom. The necessity of obtaining a certificate in time to draw on the 4 th of Mar ch next & the fear of further delay has induced me to request a favour of you in the premises that will enable us to ascertain from the Proper Department what her prospects are of receiving a certificate in time to draw thereon. Whether there is any other cause of delay, than the Pressure of Business.

Sir. I am applied to by a poor widow woman in this City, by the name of Titus, the widow of Jonathan Titus late of Brooklyn deceased to procure for her a pension under the Act of July 1838. her husband received a pension for a number of the latter years of his life and from an examination of the act above referred to, and your circular of the 17 th ult I have no doubt she is entitled to a pension, but she may find it difficult and very troublesome to establish her claim unless she can avail herself of the papers in your office upon which the pension was allowed to her husband.
I would ask whether those papers are to be regarded as Records of the Department within the meaning of your circular relating to Records of the War Department, and if not whether they may not in some way be rendered serviceable to the widow in establishing her claim, and that you would please favor me with any suggestion or information calculated to assist her in this matter.
If the papers on file in the case of the pension of the deceased cannot be otherwise available to the widow, an abstract or copies of them might be serviceable to me by affording information of the names and places of residence of persons by whom I might be able to make the required proofs of service of the deceased and in that case I shall be obliged if you will send me such abstract or copies as you may deem useful, and any expenses or charge in the matter I will remit to you.
Your early attention and answer to this communication will be regarded with gratitude by Mrs Titus &
