Hon Sec of Interior
I enclose to you the necessary proof for Sally Morgan to obtain the warrant in which to claim her under act of March 3 1855 - I said necessary proof I intended to say I presumed so - There is enough no doubt and much more than is need - The papers are awfully done - but honestly . Will you please return the certificate signed by Stewart - I do not though it was needed but I wished you will be satisfied with the set as there is much danger in delay in this - for reasons I will send name -
If this warrant is not immediately granted it will be lost - Here are facts - This old lady is now near her grave surely - Still she set up and signed her own name - but soon she will not 2 months - If the day before the warrant is issued there is no place to assert the claim - There of course being no minor - She lives with a son a poor man - They were ignorant and poor was the cause of this delay - Some can in reason ask of you to let this claim be attended to none - I mean of course not to wait the usual routine - It is useless to name to an American the sacrifice of all such - But have you discretion over it is the question? - I repeat if it is not issued in 2 months it is gone -

The old Lady thinks I h- will need the Pension Certificate so please return it to me -
Still I shall be pleased to hear from you if you can make this take precedence of others before it - I am ignorant of this - I am no regular agent - But a mean pack horse  of widows and children when they are too poor to pay for such - Respectfully T. Craig

Commissioner of Pensions Washington D.C.
Sir - I take the liberty in soliciting your kind offices in obtaining some information from the records of Revolutionary pensions in your office -
My great-grandfather Morgan was a soldier in the Revolutionary War , and his widow received a pension during her life, which in her later years was paid to her in Cincinnati, Ohio -
I think my great-grandfather's name was Jacob Morgan; but I am not absolutely positive as to his first name. He lived in Brimfield, Massachusetts and probably served with troops from that state. My grandfather was named Ephraim Morgan and was born in Brimfield Mass but passed most of his life in Cincinnati Ohio -
If you find the facts as above, or can identify the Revolutionary pension for a soldier named Morgan, paid to widow in Cincinnati, will you please send to me two certificates to that effect. I desire to use them to support applications of my son and myself for membership in the Sons of the Revolution, and will of course cheerfully pay the fee for such certificates. Very respectfully Yours E. Morgan Wood
