Sir:
In answer to the enclosed letter of Robt. Moorman, Esq., which accompanied yours of the 21 st instant, I have the honor to state, that the heirs of Robt. Moorman, deceased, are not entitled to anything under existing pension laws in right of his services. The Soldier made application for a pension under the Act of 7 th June, 1832, his claim was rejected. Several efforts were made in the life time of the Soldier to revive and establish the claim, but without success.
No pension can be allowed to a Revolutionary Soldier or his widow subsequent to their death. Neither can an allowance be made to the heirs of such Soldiers or widows in case they  who were not pensioners in their life time!
