James L. Edwards, esq. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington City.
Dear Sir,
On or about the 16 th October past, I transmitted to you the application, for pension under the law of July 4, 1836, of Lucy Hubbard, widow of late Daniel Hubbard, a revolutionary pensioner under the law of March 18, 1818, with the necessary evidence to establish her claim to the pension. Have you examined and allowed her claim, and will you please to transmit her pension certificate to me?
The late Jonathan Patch of Shapleigh in this (York) county, a revolutionary invalid pensioner, as appears by the annexed copy of his pension certificate, died about four years since. His children, & heirs at law, think they are entitled to arrearages of his pension, at the rate of five dollars per month, from 1798, when his disability accrued, by wounds received in blasting rocks at West Point, to the time he was placed on pension list, May 2, 1808. Are they entitled to such arrearages under the law of 1836; and if so, what are the regulations by which it is obtained? And will not the evidences filed in the original application, be all that will be required to establish the claim? Your answer to these inquiries is respectfully requested.
With respect yr ob. servant,
Sum over for copy of pension certificate.
Jeremiah Goodwin, Post Master at said Alfred.
