Enclosed I send you the papers of Mary Boyd for the purpose of obtaining her pension as suggested by the Commission of pensions in his letter to you of the 22 nd Dec last.

Mary Boyd's claim for the arrears of the pension of William Boyd was forwarded to the pension office from Louisville some time since.

To the Com r of Pensions Sir,
J. Rand Esq. of Owingsville Kentucky has presented to your office an application in behalf of Mrs Nancy Boyd, widow of William Boyd an late an invalid pensioner, for a pension under the acts of Congress in such cases provided. As it appears that her case is embraced in the provisions of the act of 29 July 1848, and not in the act of 1836, as supposed by him, I will thank you to cause a pension certificate to issue to her under that act. As evidence that I am authorized to act in the case, I enclose you a letter from Mr Rand of 2 d inst. requesting me to attend to this case for him & Mrs Boyd.

Some time in the year 1850 I prepared the papers and made application for a pension for Nancy Boyd widow of William Boyd a wounded pensioner in Harners campaigns in 1790 upon an intimation from the then Commissioners of Pensions that she was entitled to one. When the papers were made out and filed in the pension office the claim was rejected and so the matter has stood until now. But the other day in making enquiries why the arrears of W m Boyds pension had not been paid for which I had applied through the Louisville agency, the present Commissioner of Pensions wrote the enclosed note to M rs Mason. If M rs Boyd is entitled to a pension she would like to get it and if you think the case worthy of your attention she will pay you whatever is right if the pension is ob- tained. The declaration, depositions &c are on file in the pension office. If you can ascertain you find there is any defect of proof please ad- vise me and we will see if it can be sup- plied. Perhaps the present Commission will be of a different opinion to the former one. The arrears of W m Boyds pension I have at last succeeded in getting.
Yours Respectfully H. Rand
