Dear Sir:
Vincent Buxton, an old Revolutionary soldier & Pensioner of the U.S. died in this neighbourhood some months since, leaving his wife, who is very old & infirm in a state of poverty & suffering - she requested me to examine the Engine, whether any provision had been made by Congress for the widows of Rev. soldiers - By the Act of Congress of the 7 July 1838 widows, (who were married prior to 1 Jany 1794) appear to be entitled to four years pension equal to that allowed their husbands under the Pension act of 1832.
The widow to whom I allude was married Decem r . 1785 - & I have the evidence of the return of the Minister (who performed the ceremony) to the Court of Nafud
My object in writing to you is to ascertain whether I am right that this poor widow is

entitled to a pension? and what sort of proof will be required by the Department, in order to place his name on the Pension Roll.
I have the honor to be, very Respt. Your obedt. Servt.
