Sir
In reply to your letter of the 3 rd November 1843 in relation to the application of Rachel Myer (widow of William Myer deceased) under the act of the 7 th July 1838 - I beg leave to say that the negat of the certificate Clerk which you mention in your letter is altogether a mistake. I was his agent under the act of 7 th June 1832, and by a reexamination of his papers I think you will find that he claimed a pension for 5 months in '76 and the remainder mostly in short periods of a month each amounting in all to 15 Months for which his certificate was made out - you will also find that most of those Services were alledged to have taken place before 1778 and supported by respectable witnesses - I have however procured a certificate from the Comptroller at Albany - which only gives only his Services after that date, and at least confirms his Statement - as alledged at those dates -
Since your letter was addressed, the Department have made out a certificate as appears for 5 mo. private & 2 mo. Sergeant - which amount she has drawn for five years - viz $26.66 2/3 per annum - she now claims the full amount as drawn by her husband, deducting $133 2/3  1/3 And whatever you feel disposed to allow you will please direct to me and oblige
