Madam
I have filed your deposition of the 9 th inst showing the date of the marriage of your parents William and Anna Hoyt, from which it appears that it occurred on the 26 th of November 1799, and I regret to inform you that as your mother's death occurred on the 29 th of July 1846, there is no law in existence under which she was entitled to a pension at the period of her death. The only law which makes provision for widows of pensioners who were married prior to 1800 is the law of July 29, 1848, which has exclusive reference to widows who were then living. It was supposed from the

pers previously filed in this office by you, that your mother was married prior to 1794 and that the Clarin was embraced by the act of July 7, 1838, hence my letter to you of the 4 th of March last

Dear Sir I Received your letter of the 2
I was not a little disappointed; pardon me for troubling you again but I wanted to say to you that I had been led to ask for what was due to my Father when he died he was to have his money as long as he lived you see that he got it the 9 of September and he died on the 9 of January last month to day I think that it was not paid in my papers I am told that government is bound to pay that but you will know that better than I do if it is my due I should be very glad to have it in your hands my poor heart would feel better calling for this last satisfaction has caused my means to be limited and health not good now you told me in your letter that if my Mother was married before 94 that she would be entitled to the same as my Father but I have heard of there daring half sons and I thought this to be my case the reason that we did not get this money was that my mother said that it would cost as much or more to take out letters

of administration so we aged my Father not having no debt to pay I do not know why it is not my guest but I presume you will want it if it is so
