Dear Sir
Mr. Samuel Chandler of Duxbury in this County called on me yesterday & made the following Statement, Sir :
That his Mother Mary Chandler applied for a Pension under the Act of July 4, 1836 for the services of her late husband Samuel Chandler dec d who died in 1822, alledging in her application that her said husband served after the marriage. That to constitute service after the marriage she claimed to be allowed for time spent by him in recruiting & enlisting soldiers about home. But that this kind of service was adjudged not to be sufficient & as he did not actually serve in the field after marriage her claim was rejected.
He supposes that had she lived she would have been entitled to the five years pension the marriage being before 1790. The proof of Mr. Chandler's service, her marriage, his

and her identity he supposes to be proved by the documents on file in your Office in her unsuccessful application under the Act July 4. 1836
Mrs. Chandler died on the ninth day of July 1838. Now as this is one day after the passage of the five year pension Act I cannot see why her children or legal representative cannot obtain under that Act the pension to which she would have been entitled from 4th March 1836 to July 9. 1838 the day of her death.
By an examination of her papers you can see whether this statement corresponds with the facts set forth in her application. If I am right in supposing her children or representatives to be entitled from March 4. 1836 to July 9. 1838 I wish to enquire
1 st In whose name should the application be made? the children for the left 4? or an Administrator?
2 o Will the proof of his service, her marriage & his death now in your possession be sufficient as to those points?
Leaving to the present applicants to shew her

death - identity & their relation to her?
Your reply will greatly oblige Your oblt. Sh.
