Sir:- I wish
to submit a question or two to you for the benefit of an old lady of this county Mrs Kissiah Blake.
John Hannah her first husband and whom she married in 1830, was a soldier in the Revolution- ary war, and at the time of his death several years ago and for some time before was receiving a pension. After the death of said Hannah she married John

Blake who also died leaving her again a widow Died Blake died about 1850 Now will she be entitled to a pension under the Act of February 28 1853, or any other act, and whether she will be entitled to county land since Hannah her husband never hav- ing received any land. Any information on the subject will confer a favor upon the needy.
Yours very respectfully L. H. Plunk
