Sir:
Your letter of September last enclosing application for pension by the heir at law of R. 12,556 Claudius Boatman & R. 13650 William Day, respectively, have been received and filed under the Act of June 7, 1832.
But you are informed that there is no pension law which grants pensions to the children or heirs of a pensioner. (soldier)
The Bounty land Act of March 3, 1855 grants bounty land to the minor children of a deceased soldier; but it does not appear that either of the above applicants is a minor child.
