Hon. COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS.
SIR:
I have the honor to request that the Invalid claim described below be placed upon the list of Completed Files.
No. of claim: _____
No. of Certificate: _____
Nature of claim: _____ (Additional increase or restoration.)
Co. _____, _____ Reg't, _____ Vols.
1. That the declaration has been made in due form, stating the proper service of the soldier. 2. That he has served ninety days or more in military or naval service of the United States during the late war of the rebellion, and was honorably discharged therefrom, and who is now suffering from a mental or physical disability of a permanent character, not the result of his own vicious habits, which incapacitates him for the performance of manual labor in such a degree as to render him unable to earn a support. 3. That the claimant has, with the authority of the Bureau of Pensions, had a regular medical examination in respect to the disability described and claimed for in the declaration.
I certify upon honor that after a careful consideration of the case I am of the opinion that the case is COMPLETE.
Very respectfully,

Dear Sir
The enclosed dollar — which I trust is correct — is fee for a certified copy of the pension application of a Revolutionary soldier, John Hatchman who died in Boston, March 22, 1831, and who received a pension to the time of his death. The certified copy is to be sent to Mrs. Philip Hichborn, 1707 N. street, Washington, D. C. and if it could be made to reach her by Tuesday of next week, it

would be a great favor to the whole Chapter "Boston Tea Party," which is forming in Boston and will be very much retarded by any great delay at present. I do not know the usual time al- lowed for making and sign- ing such a certificate, but I am going to earnestly request that as much speed as possible be brought to bear on this case, if the records are found to be what is desired and claimed.

If an addition to the fee is necessary, I will forward it at once on receiving word.
Very truly Yours,
(Name) Anna von Stydingvård.
Regent of Boston Tea Party Chapter.
Boston, Massachusetts.
