In your note of Dec. 9 th speaking of the claim of Miss Cockran for a pension, you say "Her claim will be allowed under act of July 7 th 1838 - so soon as the family record of the births of her children shall have been transmitted to this office as required by the regulations"
I can see neither "regulation" or necessity for shewing the births of the children of the claimant, nor by the law or regulations, that she should have children.
In the presumed haste in which the letter was written, was not the record of births written for marriage?
