The papers I believe were duly made out, & I have not heard from them since - Will you have the goodness to call at the pension office & inquire for them -
I took the liberty to refer to you in the papers, & wrote a letter to you in relation to it, but through accident the letter was not sent -
You will confer a favor upon me if you will take the trouble to call -
Yours respectfully

Herewith I return a package addressed to "Julietta Bullard. Brighton Mass" I take this course presuming the package might be of some consequence to the person addressed, and that its early reception by her was desirable, and with a confidence almost amounting to a certainty that no such person is or has been a resident in this town. I applied to Elijah Clark Esq. who has acted in the capacity of agent for procuring pensions for some time past, for information in relation to said person - and his answer to my enquiry I enclose. Believing under all the circumstances that the proper course to be pursu- -ed is the one I have taken, I return the enclosed communication to the Dept. whence it issued for such action as you may deem advisable.
Very Respectfully Yrs W m Warren P.M.

Sir, I send inclosed the application of Julietta Bullard, for the continuance of her pension under the act of June 17- 1844- It was made out from a form, I noticed in the news papers & understood to be a form approved of at the Pension Office-
Respectfully Yours Francis D. Lane

Brighton February 4 th 1844.
Dear Sir,
In answer to your enquires respecting a package of Documents now in your Post Office, addressed by the Commissioners of Pensions at Washington, to Mrs. Julietta Ballard of Brighton, I have to state, that I have no knowledge of any person in this town by that name,
On the 15 th of January 1843. I visited Mrs. Julietta Ballard widow of Branch, at her residence in Uxbridge, in the County of Worcester, Mass., and she made a claim for arrears of Pension before Federal Dist. Regr., and her arrears were obtained in March following, at which time she resided in Uxbridge, and I presume that her claim for the years pension has been frustrated by some person and this document which you have exhibited is a return which is misdirected. Therefore if you do not find any person of that name in this town, I should advise you to return it to the Commissioner of Pensions in order that it may be directed to its owner, presuming it was misdirected,
Very Respectfully Yours, Colt Stree Elijah Clark
