To the Pension office, or to the Com d of Pensions direct, L. P. Waldo Esq.
I kept no record of any of the claims sent to the pension office, consequently do not remember every particular in Mrs. Chapman's claim which was provided, neither did I know your regulations until my claims have been suspended, or rejected on account of not being in form with the new regulations, which are very different to any before used in that office. — And I hope therefore, that all the allowance possible will be made in my case, I have now herewith tried to comply with the letter of objection herewith returned, & if this is not satisfactory Please return to me on the reception of this additional evidence all the papers in the case pending, with instructions what is now wanting before the claim can be allowed, — The widow is very poor & lives out of the way of a business locality, & this very evidence has cost 8 dollars, & it is hoped that this evidence with what was attached to her claim will satisfy Mr. Waldo. — Respectfully &c. pro secum, J. A. Ayer
