Dear Sir,
A friend, of the widow, of Simeon Moore dead a Revolutionary Soldier, writes me to ascertain whether she is, under of the Statutes on the subject, entitled to a pension. He states that the said Simeon Moore "were a pension under the first Act of Congress granting pensions to Revolutionary soldiers; By another Act of Congress was stricken off - and was again reinstated, 25 th Febry 1821." He also states that the said Simeon Moore died June 6 th 1825.
I have supposed if Mrs Moore was married to Simeon Moore before he left the Public Service, she is entitled to a pension for life; if not before, but previous to 1794, that she is entitled, under the act of 1838 to a pension for five years.
Will you have the goodness to examine and ascertain whether the above facts, in relation Simeon Moore's (of Ohio) receiving a pension - his death &c. are correct, and if they are to give me the proper instruction how to proceed to procure a pension for Mrs Moore.
I am Sir

Dear Sir
Simson Moore a Revolutionary soldier and with whom you have a personal acquaintance is about to renew his application to be reinstated upon the Pension list - You will find by a reference to his schedule of property that it amounts only to the pitiful sum of about sixty dollars.
The object of this is to state a fact which perhaps is not within your knowledge as you have not seen Moore for some time. Nearly three years since he lost the use of his left leg and only moves upon crutches - he will never regain the use of it - I consider him as totally unable to perform any kind of manual labor. From visits I have made his family I am confident his wife is in a confirmed state of ill health - I am not in possession of any information which would lead me to suspect that Mr Moore has any more property than what he has reported to the Secretary.
So far as you can rely upon my veracity you will have the goodness to exhibit the above facts to the Secretary upon my responsibility.
Respectfully Yours

Hon ble Sir
By the request of Mr Moore a man well known to me to be very poor and unfortunate, I trouble you with the enclosed papers -
The impossibility of doing equal justice to those veteran applicants everyone must admit, and the multifold difficulties & vexations alloted to you them in the discharge of your official duties in this respect are evident. Wherefor it is to me a painful labour to be the agent in of accumulating those labours on your part - Do you permit a review of a decision upon an application in this, feeling & propriety may advocate the affirmation - Policy, convenience and happiness would authorize the adoption of the negation of the proposition -

Let me know the rules of the Department in this respect - As I fear many applications, of the kind herewith forwarded, will be forwarded to me -
Yours sincerely

Orvis Parish Pres Judge

Mr. Simmons soon in the month of October 1817 suffered a fracture of his left leg immediately below the knee. Before the fracture was cured an infla- -mation took place in the knee itself which terminated in an entire stiffness of the joint - From the length of time he was confined from the symptoms in- -cident to his leg he became extremely debilitated & his inferior extremities drooping - As his health improved the anasarous swelling subsided in the sound limb - In the other, it still continues to such a degree as to require the constant application of a bandage from his foot to about the middle of of his thigh - From his age & present infirmities I believe him to be unable to procure a comfortable subsistence

by manual labor - For several years past I have generally been Mr. Moon's Physician, & during my acquaintance with his Family they have suffered an unusual degree of sickness, partic- -ularly my mother who has been confined repeatedly with attacks of the Sciatica & other forms of rheumatism -
