Dear Sir
M rs Susanna (Drane), widow of William, (Drane, draws a pension) of $100. per annum, wanting a few cents. Her husband drew, I think, only $75. per annum, during his life. Now we suppose that the widow is intitled to draw the difference between these pensions as the arrears of her husband's pension, and that her husband was intitled during his life to the same pension which his widow now gets, and as he got less, the amount he ought to have received on the evidence in the widow's case now on file should be paid to the widow. The widow obtained her pension I think in 1842. If she is intitled, do you dare proper to sign off it to me, or will send me any forms necessary for the case, you will much oblige
Yours Very S er Daniel S. Richardson

In the Pension case of Susanna Deane, information was required as to the tour of service of William Deane in the Militia in 1781. The widow, Mrs. Deane, thinks that her late husband at that time served an "eight months tour", beginning in April and ending in December, or about that time; that he served in an a company, which was commanded by Capt. Stephen Abbott of Andover, Massachusetts - she thinks that part of this time he might have served under Capt. James Mallon - He was then M m June jr - I find in the office of the Sec. Com te of Mass an assignment of the pay of the soldiers of Capt. Mallon's company to the town of Andover, among which is his name - This service is there styled a "three months service under the Resolve of June 1781" - Mrs. Deane thinks he went out under Abbott at first; that while they were out this company was divided and part went on way under one officer, & the remainder went under another officer. Capt. Mallon was under Col. E. Putnam, it is thought. It was so long since, that it is difficult to fit the time, officers &c.
I understand the letter sent to D. Richardson of Tyngsboro' (who first commenced this case) as only requiring information, as a guide

for searching the rolls at Washington. If I am right of this is sufficient, the Department will oblige me by so informing me. Otherwise we will endeavor to look for further information.
Every communication may be directed to me at Lowell - my father, D. Richardson, of Lynnboro', having died, since the com- menced the case.
The papers in the case are on file at Washington.
Resp. from Dr. Graft.
