Dear Sir,
I have addressed several letters to you in relation to a balance due a widow of a Revolutionary pensioner at the time of her decease, & have received no reply thereto. In the meantime, I have written in relation to other matters & received prompt replies.
Abigail Carlisle of Yorh. upon the pension rolls at Portland, died Jan. 5, 1867, receiving her last payment Sept 4, 1866, leaving a balance of about $2. 00 due her. A lawyer, in whose hands the matter was placed, neglected to attend to it. Upon application at Portland, last week, I found that her name had been dropped from the rolls, but that the balance due, had never been paid. I would request that her name may be restored to the rolls & the amount due, paid to Deborah Preble her only surviving child, who now lives in Yorh. Hoping to receive a favorable reply, I remain
