Sir
I herewith enclose the papers of Mrs. Deborah Gledden, to be pensioned under the Act of July 7. 1838 and an Act to amend the same approved Augt 23. 1842. Her first husband named Joel Chandler served in the war of the Revolution as set forth in her declaration. It will be noticed in the affidavit of her son Joel Chandler that the heir of her late husband, rec d from the War Department of the United States a certificate for land for his revolutionary service, the certificate was dated at the War Office the Seventh day of August 1819. The family record annexed to the affidavit of Joel Chandler is the best evidence that can be furnished of the fact and date of her marriage. It was pasted to a board which was framed and mutilated in detaching it. Should her papers be deemed sufficient in establishing her claim, I would respectfully request to have a certificate transmitted me for her

Sir, Deborah Eldden, a pensioner on the Main's Roll, at $80 a year - thinks she is entitled to $100 - as her husband, Joel Chandler, was a raper & Mene. - There is some evidence of this probably, on the files of Genl. Office here - but the enclosed original paper , which she has found, seems to be conclusive. If she be entitled to $100. - I hope the annuities, at $20 a year will now be made up to her - Pray inform me of this soon.
