Dear Sir
Inclosed
Please find declaration of Sally Brown made under, and to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed 3 d February 1853. Is this Old lady entitled to draw back to the date of the death of her husband the same amt per annum which he drew in his lifetime?
Her husband died as shown by her declaration on the 19 th Sept r 1833. A difference of opinion is expressed by those whose learning gives their opinion weight, as to the amount now due from Government upon such claims as the Old lady Brown's. Without troubling you with those opinions or an argument, her case is submitted, not doubting but that the full benefit of the law will be extended to her. Record Evidence of her marriage accompanies her declaration
Your Early attention to Claim is desired, as her situation demands it.
Address your communications to her or myself at this place - We hope her case is fully and satisfactorily made out, if however any thing is wanting it doubtless can be supplied in such manner as will be satisfactory, she with her husband having resided in this County many years prior to his death -
Very Respectfully your obt Servt
