Sir
One Jacob Bennett was a revolutionary soldier from New York. He was paid a pension for some years, but had not been paid for several years previous to his death in 1830 and at that time he had quite an amount due him from the government.
Without going to the trouble to investigate this particular case inform me whether a claim of that nature can now be prosecuted by his heirs & if any such back pension is collectable, and oblige
Yours Very Respectfully Phil M. Hatch
