Dear Sir
It appears from the Certificate which issued from your Office on the first day of March last for my benefit that I am allowed the sum of $23.55. 4 only, which is a sum less than a private is entitled to who served only six months. Upon examining my declaration you will find that I served upwards of seven months as a Sergent and should then pay be no more that that of a private you will readily perceive that I am entitled to more than the amount mentioned in the Certificate. (You will please examine into this matter and let me hear from you as soon as possible. As far as my recollection serves me it appears to me that the Sergents were entitled to more pay than a private, but should I be mistaken in this matter I certainly as to the pay for the length of time I served cannot be.

Some time in Novem r . last there was issued to my mother Catherine Pollard, widow of Joseph Pollard dec d . a pension certificate granting to her a pension for five years from the 10 th Sept r 1836. which it appears to me ought not to expire sooner than Sept r 10 th 1841. Applica- tion was made to Mr. Anthony Robinson the pension agent for the payment of Pensions Richmond V a for payment of the said pension from Sept r 10 th 1836 to Mar ch 4 th 1841. Supposing it would have been paid (and the certificate retained to enable my mother to draw the remaining part from Mar ch 4 th 1841. to Sept r 10 th 1841. but it was required that the original certificate should be surrendered which was done. Mr. Robinson also states that altho' the certificate granted a pension for 5 years yet it did not extend farther than Mar ch 4 th 1841. I should be glad to be informed relative to this matter (and to know how and in what way I am to proceed to obtain the balance that I think from the reading of the original certificate is still due or whether when the certificate was issued it was contemplated that 4 years and six months meant 5 years — Please let me hear from you soon
