Commissioner of Pensions,
Dear Sir, -
In 1838 a pension was awarded to my grandmother Phebe Creamer as the widow of my grandfather William Creamer to whom a pension was also awarded in 1818 (No. 13,275). The application for the pension to Mrs. Creamer was based in part on records taken from the family bible. I am desirous of having a copy of these records from the bible and will be much obliged if you will send them to me.
Yours very truly,
John W. Pirson

Hon. Green B. Raum, Comr. of Pensions, Dear Sir:—
A pension was granted, about March 23 rd 1818, to William Creemer, who was a soldier in the army of the Revolution. His name is inscribed on the "Pension list roll of the New Jersey Agency" as No. 13.275.
I am desirous of having a copy of his application setting forth his claim to the pension. Mr. Creemer was my grandfather. My grandmother, Mrs. Phebe Creemer, was his widow, and as such, a pension was awarded to her about Nov. 1839, under the Act of July 7 th 1838. She was at the time a resident of the City of New York. Accompanying Mrs. Creemer's application was a family record written on a leaf taken out of the family bible. I desire also to have a copy of this record.
I am,
Yours, very truly, John W. Pirson
