Dr Sir,
Mrs Catharine Whittaker has desired me for a long time past to address you in regard to the amount of pension which she draws being but $26.00 per Annum - Eight Months Service was admitted and was shown by the rolls & she does not understand why it is that her pension is so small - is it right that she should receive but the $26.00 for the 8 Mo's Service of her husband? There are but very few of the old pensions left in our midst & they feel that they ought to have every farthing the few days that they yet remain with us that they are by law entitled to - A line from you to me stating whether said amount would be very satisfactory to her and would confer a great favor upon her In haste I am Obh Servt &c
