Dear Sir
Some year ago or more I filed a declaration for old Mrs. Nancy Buck, widow of Isaac Buck, decd. who was a Pensioner of the U.S. and had just before died, in order to obtain the annual pension that would belong to her according to the laws of Congress, and also sent on the old Pension Certificate of her deceased husband Isaac Buck, and I have from time to time since I first sent on her declaration sent on more proof, and additional declarations thinking that those sent were informal, or that they were lost, from all of which I have not heard one word, as I know this to be a just claim, by an old and very needy woman, (having drawn the old mans pension for him for many years before and up to the time of his death) I have to ask sir that you will do me the favour to write me, how the matter stands, and why the old lady has not been allowed her pension
What is the difficulty, in order that I may put all right and send on, please write me fully, and I would beg to refer you to the Hon. E. Stanley of the House Rep. or the Hon. W. Barger of the Senate, as to my character
Respectfully F. B. Satterthwaite
