Catskill Dec 1841
Sir
More than a year since I was requested by Eunice Myr widow of Levi Myr deceased to assist her in procuring her pension Stating that her former agent Mr Mattoon was dead. I have obtained the original reply from the department dated 21 st of Sept 1839 which requires additional proof of marriage and of the death of her husband.
The first after considerable labour and expense I have not as yet been able to obtain, nor do I believe it to probable to that any documentary evidence that any is in existence in the place where she alleges the marriage took place. I have visited that vicinity and no documents of any kind of the date alluded to in her Statement has been discovered. And I am doubtful whether any traditional evidence can be procured.
The parties were married in Connecticut and shortly after moved into the State of New York - Hence the neighbors in latter place could know nothing of the marriage and those of the former have forgotten that any such persons have ever existed - having always remained in a humble Station of Society.
I conceive it to be a hard case and if the department could deviate a little and grant a pension upon the proof produced. I have reason to believe it would be an act of justice for although she is poor I believe a respectable person.
Annexed is the proof of the death of her husband by an affidavit of a person living next door neighbor.
Whatever may be your decision you will please direct to the Hon. Jacob Houck Sec. N. C.
I am Respectfully Your most obedt Servant Henry Wyzkoop
