Sir
I would apologize for troubling you, by saying that I write in behalf of an indigent, worthy widow of a Revolutionary Soldier, without fee or reward - This State, last winter, passed an act allowing to a certain description of Revolutionary Soldiers, in case of their death, to their widows - 200 acres of land in this State - In order to obtain that bounty, the Widow of William Holt, a Soldier of the Revolution, who drew a Pension, wishes to procure a copy of his Declaration by which he secured his pension, that she may the more accurately describe his company - Regiment, Capt. Col's - and I know not to whom to apply for such copy - I have therefore taken the liberty, (I hope not an obtrusive one in such a case), to apply to you, wishing that application may be made for it, to the proper officer -  With great respect, I am your very Ob st Serv t

inquiry of Mrs. Sloyer W. Jones, 61 Fourth St., Bangor, Maine, with information:-
I find on the old rolls of this Agency, William Holt, Penobscot Co., Act June 7, 1832 Paid to Sept. 4, 1844 @ $20. a year. After date of last payment there is an "R." in red, indicating that he was reported dead or dropped

There is also a William Holt, Rev. Pensioner, died at Fryeburg Sept. 1827.

Bangor Dec. 9 th 1899
Dear Sir:
In the name of William Holt; who died in Harrison Maine, wife Lucy Hutchings, on the Revolutionary Pension Roll at Augusta, said to have come from Fryeburg Maine? There was a pension- er, William Holt of Fryeburg Me, wife Esther, who died in Fryeburg, in all probability

William Holt of Haysburg was father of William who died in Hermon Maine. Also can you give me the date of William Holt's death (William of Hermon Maine)? William Holt of Hermon Maine was surely a pensioner, and used to come to Bangor to collect his pension. Any information gratefully received by
Mrs. Storer W. Foss
