Dear Sir
Will you allow one of your constituents to trouble you to procure from the Office of the Secretary of the Navy Department such information as will enable the Widow of Elkanah Griswold (then of the State of Connecticut, & I believe Surgeon mate on board some vessel) to procure a Pension. He also served in the Army during the Revolutionary war, in which war his Naval service was also performed.
Your early attention to this will benefit a poor old widow, much obliged
Truly Yours
A. H. Harkness (A)
