To the Commissioners of Pensions Sir Sir
About the Year 1843. I sent to your Depart- ment in support of the claim of my Sister Maria Sherman for a Pension. The Declara- tion and proofs in the case within the claim was made in the name of Maria or Sherman, I do not remember as I left all my correspondence with your Department at the City of Philadelphia when I left there some eleven years since. but of the fact of the application and of the sub- stance of the proofs of the claim I am sure. One of the former agents in charge, relied on to obtain said Pension

on George Heiser. His affi- davit was later before the Albany Board of the City of Philadelphia some time in the month of October 1843 - and it was about that time that the application of Mrs. Garrison & her Mrs. was made. I know further, that her case was suspended for further pro- and it stood in that way when I left Philadelphia. Her son has applied to me about this matter, and he informs me that the Hon. D. D. Brown of Phila- delphia applied to your office and could not find Heiser's affidavit on file under the circumstances will you please inform me how the fact is -

If you cannot find it in record will you please look amongst the papers of George Weidner for a Pardon, it may be amongst them - failing in finding it any where amongst these as Mr. Steiner has notes of the contents of that affidavit and as I distinctly remem- ber the substance of said affidavit - will my affi- davit and Mr. Steiner, containing said substance as soon as replace it? and please my know this Claim now stands
and oblige Brooklyn } Yours obedtly Nov. 10th } C. I. Nock 30. 1887 }
The Claim of Mr. Steiner was on account of the Rev.

In tracing Steiner's plan for the John G. Weissman - I at first thought the Newton had applied -
