Dear Sir,
I have the Honor, herewith to transmit, the Papers, Relating to the case of Sarah Green, Widow of the late Deab Green who is a Petitioner for a Pension —
The Instructions I Received from the Hon. Mr. Mallory, I think I have complied with to the Letter. I have not consulted any Attorney as the whole sum asked for is a mere Pittance & my Mother is very poor, & wholly dependent!
The old Soldiers have mostly ceased from their labors and altho I have no doubt of the fact that my Father Deab Green performed all the services stated in his declaration, yet we have not been able to prove any additional services to the nine months found on the Receipt Three Months which we prove by Abiel Wood Esq. who served with my Father the whole term —
I will only take the Liberty to add that my Mother is very feeble and a return

as soon as is convenient with the business of the department would be very acceptable to the Old Lady
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant Joel Green
