Dear Sir
I am requested by Mrs. Sally Clapp of this place the Widow of Timothy Clapp deceased who was a Revolutionary Pensioner, to make some inquiry of you regarding an application for a cash pension which the Widow made some months ago. The Clapp employed Charles H. Sedgwick Esq. of Sharon Ct., to make out her papers. I have been informed that the papers have been returned several times on account of some mistake in them made by Mr. Sedgwick. The Widow requests me to say if the papers sent by Mr. Sedgwick the last time are not correct you will have the goodness to inform her & she will employ some other person to make them out correctly & if they are correct you will be kind enough to forward the papers as soon as conveniently in order to enable her to draw her money as the Widow is very poor and has for a long time been confined to her bed by reason of age & infirmities & stands in great need of the pecuniary aid which she has long expected from this source.
