Dear Sir
The enclosed certificate of the Comptroller of New York furnishes additional proof to support the application of Isabe Chandler Widow of Samuel Chandler Deceased to a pension. She applied for a pension under the act of 1836 you will discover by her age set forth in her Declaration that she is very old. She cannot state with certainty all of the particulars of her husband's services and but few of them and it could not be expected that she could
I think that she has been blind about nine years. She is likewise very poor and supported by charity for many years. if you find her entitled to a small pension it will be very gratifying to her and her and her neighbors.
pleas send my certificate for what ever you may find her entitled to you may find records in your department to support her claim likewise
