Herewith you will receive the application of Mary Burlingame for a widow's pension. The original certificate was sent off with the papers, to the Agent, at Albany, (I believe) to enable her to draw her husband's back pay. I take it for granted it will soon reach you in the settlement of the agent's account.

Sir,
At the solicitation of Mr Burlingame I made out the accompanying papers for him, with the view of having you order the agent at New York to pay over his pension.
I know B. perfectly well & there is no doubt at all that he is the person intended in the certificate & the person who ought to receive the pay. In this case, I think I cannot be mistaken. The person who has heretofore opisted him to draw his pay, Mr Seymour, is above suspicion himself. Let me hear from you as early as you can.

Dear Sir:
Have you any records showing that Nathaniel Burlingame was a soldier in the Revolutionary war? He received a pension up to the time of his death which occurred June 10, 1839 after which his widow re- received the pension.
He had, I think, the rank of Captain. I think you will find his name in the pension roll at that time.
If you require more definite data, I fear it
DEC 16 1892 FILES

will be difficult to pro- cure them, as I do not know in what regiment or company he served nor the date of his enlist- ment or discharge.
He died at Lisbon, St. Lawrence Co. N.Y.
I think he enlisted in the Rhode Island Troops, and before going to Lisbon, he lived awhile in Stamford Vt.
I think he spelled his name with 2 gs - "Bur- lingame".
If any fee is required for looking up the records kindly advise me & I hope as I wish to join the "Daughters of the Revolution".
