J. L. Edwards Esq
Sir I enclose to you the applications of Mary Batterson & Mary Howe for Pensions. If granted please transmit their certificates to me
In the case of Mrs Howe it seems from what she has told me it will probably appear from the record & documentary evidence in your Office that her husband entered the army in pursuance of a contract with the Gov t made previous to the 11 th April 1783 & continued in the service until after that period. Now altho' I presume he did not actually perform military service after his marriage in July 1783 yet if he were living, I understand that the period of his service would be computed to the date of the definitive treaty of peace & a Pension granted him accordingly; in pursuance of the provisions of the act of Congress passed 2 nd March 1833
Will not the effect of that act be such as to authorise you to say that within the meaning of the Law that he served after the marriage, so as to give her a pension under the Act of July 4 th 1836? If so she of course will prefer to withdraw her enclosed application if necessary & to make application under Act July 4 th 1836
Very Respectfully Yours
