Sir
about three months past Arthur McArthur, called to see my Mother, Sarah Reddon, (Widow of Col n . Reddon who was a Revolutionary Pensioner, and said Sarah rec d . a Pension of 40 l per year, she being his first and only wife) and said to her, that he thought he could obtain an increase of her said Pension, but was not sure, she thereupon en- -gaged him to obtain it for her, he ac- -cordingly took from her a power of attorney either to him, or, in the name of his agent at Washington (of which, he said he had one ), and, about two weeks past, he called to see Mrs Reddon, informing her that he had succeeded in securing an increase of her said Pension, and some back money, and paid her two hundred dollars, saying, that, that sum was all he could afford to give her, he having been to such trouble & expense in obtaining it, she thereupon accepted of the said sum not being acquainted with the nature

nature of the Pension laws & regulations &c; I therefore, on reflection upon the case alluded to , and the advanced age of Mother, (being about 93 years old, and likely to be deceased) have arrived to the conclusion, that my said Mother has not been justly dealt with, by said McArthur. Therefore would respect- -fully ask you to grant me the favor, of the knowledge your office cont- -ains in relation thereto by letter, as soon convenient, giving the amt., which said McArthur, or his agent rec d . from the claim of my Mother Sarah Redlon.
Very Respectfully Yours &c Amos Redlon
