Your letter of the 23 d ult: in relation to Pension of Ann Eve Blum, was rec d by due course of mail.
There is a mistake in the name. It is not Anna Eve Blum , but Ann Eve Brunner — She rec d the back pension of her husband the late Frederick Brunner two years ago last January, & nothing since. — She then lived in the town of Stark Herkimer Co. N.Y. Her pension was drawn at Albany. I refer you to my letter of July 12 th as containing the questions I wish answered.

O. B. Matteson Esq.
Dear Sir
Mr. Elias Garlock has called on me and shown various letters from the War & Treasury departments in relation to his mother's application for a pension. It seems that the Pension Commission and the auditors of the Treasury have mistaken the name. Her name is Ann Cae Brunner and they have called it Blum. Mrs. Brunner never drew a pension, she only received the arrears due her late husband at the time of his death, and unless some act has been passed recently , she can not receive a pension as the widow of a Revolutionary Pensioner as she was married to him after January 1794 - See act 1836 - and amendments.

Col. J. L. Edwards Commr of Pensions.
The widow of Frederick Bruner (or Brunner perhaps) applied to me at Canajoharie N.Y. for my aid in investigating the state of a claim, which she alleged had been instituted before you for a pension in behalf of her late husband. Being uneducated she could give me no intelligible account of the matter, & being poor she could get, she said no one to act for her in the premises without a fee which she was unable to give. I called upon her late Attorney Mr Cook of Fort-Plain, & from them both I was enabled to gather the following facts. Frederick Bruner (or Brunner) died about three years ago. Just previous to his death certain papers prepared by one John Roth (now also dead) were presented to him to sign by said Roth. He (said Brunner) was at the time on his death-bed, & could not execute the papers. The son of said Roth destroyed the papers in question including some letters supposed to have been issued from your Department in reference to Bruner's claim.
Have the goodness to inform me whether any papers have been filed under

the act of 7. June 1832 (or any other) in the matter of any application made in behalf of any revolutionary soldier by the name of Mendick Runer or any similar name, & please state how the case stands, & much oblige
