act 4 July '36 -

Boston May 17 th 1842
Sir,
Herewith enclosed are the papers relating to the claim of Mrs Abigail Munroe (widow of Daniel Munroe) under the Act of July 4, 1836. All the service performed by him was in 1775, which is proved by the accompanying certificate of the Secretary of State.
Please inform me of your decision as soon as convenient.
Very Respectfully Your Ob t Serv t J. Ballard Lane.
Hon. J. L. Edwards. Washington D. C.

Boston, June 1 st 1842
Sir,
I have received your letter of the 24 th inst in relation to the case of Mrs Abigail Munroe, and have obtained such proof of the identity of her late husband with the soldier in Capt Williams Comp y , as will, I trust, be sufficient to establish her claim.
The deposition of Daniel Munroe shews that his father was in service in June 1775, which month is included in the eight months service of that year, and, as appears by the Secretary's Certificate, there was no person of that name in the said service but the one in Capt Williams Comp y . Secondly, the deponent states that his father had two brothers who were both in the service, and both their names are found on the roll of Capt Williams Comp y and no other. He also states that the signature of Daniel Munroe on the order for clothing, was made by his father, which shews conclusively that the soldier in Capt Williams Comp y was the husband of the claimant.
Very Respectfully Your Ob t Serv t J. Ballard Lane.
