J. S. Edwards Esq (Commissioner of Pensions)
Dear Sir:
Widow Anna Hogan a Pensioner of the United States, died in January last. Her children wish to obtain the balance of her Pension being for four and a half months. Three of them reside here and others or heirs of others are scattered in the Western States & Canada. The consequent expense of obtaining their concurrence legally in procuring the balance, would be so great as to make it of no value.
And as she left no property making it necessary to have an Administrator appointed, the procuring one for this purpose merely, would be liable to the same objection.
Is there no method in which the Amt. due might be obtained by the resident children, who had the care and maintenance of their mother to see to until her death. Or if not the whole Amt., could not the proportion which would justly belong to them be procured. An answer will much oblige
Yours Respectfully
Myron S. Hall (over

P. S.
If there is any recent Act of Congress which grants increase of Pension in certain cases, or for time prior to period contemplated in former Acts, will you please communicate it.

West Bloomfield N.Y. Aug 23 rd /43 Hon J. C. Spencer Sir:
About the 25 th of May last. I enclosed for Widow Anna Hogan, her Certificate before a justice of the Peace of this Town, of her claim to a Pension under an act of Congress of last session - I requested at that time that, if any more evidence was necessary, or other necessary steps to be taken, she might be informed of the same. This I directed "Pension Agent - Pension Office Washington City D.C." That there was some fault about it, or something wanting, either in the evidence or other information, or direction, seems evident from the fact that nothing has been heard from Washington on the subject. It was supposed however that the simple certificate was all that was necessary, as she had received a pension under a prior act of Congress, when all essential evidence was rendered.
Her last certificate was executed, I think, before the same justice of the Peace as the former one, which I believe dispenses with the necessity of the County Clerk's Certificate. I need not tell you that I was ignorant of the steps necessary to have been take. She brought her Certificate to me to enclose for her, & I did so, directing it as I at that time thought best. I write again at her request & direct to you as I suppose it relates to your official business, though of that I am not certain. She lives near this Post Office & any communications to her will be readily rec d . & gladly by her. Respectfully Yours &c M c S. Hall.
