L. L. Edwards Esq. Commr of Pensions } Dr. Sir.
I enclose to you the declaration of the Widow Eunice Page of Cambridge in the county of Lamoille, for the purpose of obtaining a Renewal of her pension under the act of the 2 nd Feb. 1848.
I infer from the instructions received from your office, that when a widow has drawn a pension, the full evidence required in the first application, is not called for upon the application for a renewal.
Upon a reference to the former declaration of Mrs. Page on file in the pension office, it will be observed that she signed by writing her name, while in the present case she has made her mark. She is so aged, infirm and nervous now that she was unable to write her name.
Mrs. Page is not able to set forth fully the service performed by her husband, and it could hardly be expected from an aged woman, but she refers you to the declaration of her husband

✓ Parkers Page, and the widow accompany in the same & her former declaration - all on file in the Pension office - for full particulars.
Respectfully Yours &c. William M. White.
