Providence August 26 1849
Commr. of Pensions
Sir I troubled you some time since with some inquiries about a pension for my Mother, widow of William Butler a Soldier of the Revolution, to which you kindly responded by sending me a form of Declaration, Regulation &c. Before I had succeeded in completing and forwarding evidence of service &c, my Mother suddenly deceased. With the few persons whom I have been enabled to consult, I cannot satisfy myself that they can or will promptly procure for me, the pay, to which my Mother was undoubtedly entitled.
My object in again addressing you, is to ask the favour of your informing me, if as Child and heir, I am not entitled to recover the Amount or some portion of what my poor Mother should have had. The Am t would never be essential to her two surviving children, Mary M. and Eliza Butler.
I will send a Pay Roll from record, of the Company, my Father was in, to compare with the record at Washington. The Certificate of my Father and Mother marriage the year and the month they did
I do not suppose that it is your Business to attend, or that it is any part of your duty to answer me, in case to do this for me but I have not excuse me for the trouble I give
Respectfully Mary M. Butler No 36. High Street Providence R.I.
