Wampden Geauga County Ohio Sept. 1 st 1844
Wm J L Edwards Sir
widow Abigail Bundy of this County Some thing like a year ago made an declaration under the act of Congress passed the third of March 1843 to draw a pension and received a Certificate to draw the same and at the same time set forth in her application that she was a pensioner under the act of July 7 th 1838 and that her Certificate was sent to the State of New York to her agent expecting that he would get the money from the pension agent at Albany and that her Certificate was lost and that there was fifteen dollars due her on said Certificate when lost I think most likely when her Certificate was sent to the State of New York that it was not taken out of the Post Office and in that case would be sent to the gene- ral Post Office at Washington and very likely was sent to your office. She set forth in her declaration the particulars in the case she wishes you to examine her declaration made in 43 again and send her a Certificate to draw the balance of said pension or please to write to me on the subject very Respectfully Yours Lewis Elliott

Or Sir.
We are not able to procure any better reference to the pension papers of Mrs. Burdick this applicant, on file in your office, than the enclosed "copy of certificate." Perhaps even that is not necessary.
It seems more difficult to procure warrants for Revolutionary Soldiers, than others.
Please advise us, if any deficiency in any respect exists in this application.
Very Respectfully Yours
