January 28 1848.
Sir,
In the claim for an increase of pension, under act of 9th June 1822, in case of Timothy Mitchell dec d late of Vermont, who was pensioned under act of 1816. - Mentioned in your letter of the 12. inst, - I beg leave to say, - a certificate of the court, showing the date of his death that he left no widow, and the names of all his children who survived him, - was forwarded to your Office, -
As there are but two children of his living, one a resident of this town, and one of the town of - in Tennessee, - it would require a journey to Vermont, to obtain the certificate of a court from that state as to these facts, - there being none of the family residing here at present,
It would be impracticable to endeavor to gainst a person, who has more knowledge of the family, than any of the children,
I am Respectfully,

Dear Abt Lord, W. G. Wade
Hon G. L. Edwards, Com - of Pensions Washington D. C.
