Sir I want to get information respecting the Pension Law. My Father was one of the old revolutionary soldiers, and drew a Pension for many years previous to his death. His name was Silas Dailey. He died as near as I can calculate nine or ten years ago. My step Mother died two or three years after. I am an heir of his. I have been informed that there has been a Law passed that Pensioners heirs will drop the same. If so I want you to inform me what course I shall take to make my self a legal applicant Sophia Dailey
