The Pension Declaration of Lena Bergh, widow of Abm. Bergh, was made in the Surrogates court and afterwards, it was required to be made in a Court of Record which was done and the declaration No. was forwarded to you. — In your letter of March 19, 1839, you say that "upon the evidence on file, see the document can be allowed is a pension for six months services, and if it be decided to accept a pension for that term a certificate will be issued accordingly." — It will be difficult, if not impossible, for Mrs. Bergh, at this late day, to furnish any additional proof of the services of Abm. Bergh her deceased husband.
She will therefore have to accept of a certificate for such an amount as the evidence in the case may entitle her to.
