Sir,
I send you by this morning's mail the declaration and testimony of Mrs Greig. She is very ignorant and could not recollect the date of her marriage or that of her husband's death so that in taking her declaration those dates were compelled to be left blank. I suppose that is immaterial as the proof on both points is complete. There is no private record of the marriage so far as known. The testimony on that point however places the fact of marriage & subsequent widowhood beyond doubt. I have prepared no testimony for the other application as I imagined the affidavits in this case (as they are more full than from your form seems necessary for the other) would do for both. The testimony is now as full as I think I can make it, but if you find any difficulty write and perhaps I can assist you. Give the matter your earliest attention and you will much oblige

P.S. I forgot to have the power of attorney but I believe you already have one. If that be insufficient you can prepare the case and you are ready to get the certificate I can have another executed. If you save me though, I shall be glad of it as I shall be escape a good deal of trouble. At all events that will not pre- vent your taking all the preliminary steps

To the Commissioner of Pensions.
Sir: About a year ago (I don't remember the date) I addressed to your office a communication concerning the claim of Mrs. Chasey Gregory, pensioner of the U. S. (whose certificate of inscription on the pension list is dated Decr. 12. 1854, numbered 4785, signed by R. McLelland Sec. Int. & countersigned by J. P. Waldo, Commissioner of Pensions) to back pay under the act of Feb 3. 1853.
In that communication I think I fully established her right & authenticated the whole by the signatures of a justice of the peace & the County Court clerk & the imprint of the County seal. Your reply was that the money could not be sent without an appropriation by Congress for the purpose. Since then I have not heard further on the subject. Please in -

inform me if the claim has been allowed yet; if not, what further is needed to establish it; if so, what Mrs. Gregory is to get and when & how & wherefrom she is to get it. I suppose you will find her papers on file in your office. They were sent in Decr. 1859 or in January or February or March 1860. I can't recall the date. The Hon. J. A. Gilmer & G. B. Vane of this state called at your office on the subject at my request about the same time.
I hope the claim will be allowed, as Mrs. G. is very old, very infirm, blind & almost helpless, & very poor. Her pension is all she has & that is not enough to support her. Hoping to hear from you soon & favorably, I am Yours respectfully H. T. Jordan

Dear Sir
Enclosed please find a Power of Atty to me, and an application for arrears of Pension, by Mrs Chasy Gregory, widow of Nathan Gregory, a private in the revolutionary war.
She has a Pension Certificate, No. 4785, dated Dec 12 12 th A.D. 1854, under the act of February 5 th 1853, calling for $96 per annum. I am at some loss whether to direct this application to you or to the Court of Claims, but as I understand the principle has been already settled in several cases, I suppose it is prefer- to address you directly.
Her evidence of the service of her husband, that he was a pen- sioner, & that she is now one, has her Pension Certificate, and has never rec d the arrears to which she is entitled, she refers to the records of the Department, and to the evidence there on file.
Please favor me with an early reply & oblige
Yrs very resp g E. C. Lardner

The prisoner's certificate was filed with first declaration. Date not remembered.
It is believed that Sally Southard is the only heir of Abner Gregory capable of taking under the law.
"The heirs of" Sam Wilson, "the heirs of" Nancy Southard are too far removed to interfere with Sally Southard's taking.
Sally Southard is very old, very poor and very infirm.

Your declaration as administrator of the estate of Chasey Gregory, deceased, for arrears of pension, is not in accordance with the requirements of the law.
An amended declaration should be filed with proof by two or more credible & disinterested witnesses that deceased was loyal & remained a widow. The names of all of the legal heirs of deceased should be given with proof that they did not in any manner aid or sympathize with the rebellion. Your own loyalty must be shown.
See circular of June 10. 1864. The precise date of death should be given.

Sir. A good many months ago, early in '67 if not earlier, I sent to you the certificate of Chas. Gregory, widow of Abraham Gregory, a pensioner of the U. S., whose name had been stricken from the roll, and asked its restoration.
You replied, saying that the Declaration was not in proper form & suggesting amendments. I amended according to your suggestions, & repeated the application, applying in the name of John Buchanan, Execut Adminis- trator & sole legal representation of the deceased pensioner. Time passed, & having nothing from you I wrote again. Another long time has elapsed, & still I have had no response to my second application.

The certificate is with you & has been since my first application. It was not returned & one when my first Declaration was sent back for informality. As I made no memo- oranda of it I am not able to give it any accurate description. My impression is that was numbered about 2,070; but I am not sure.
The application was for back pay; & the necessary oaths, vouchers &c., accompa- nied it. I am not able to refer accu- rately to the date of either application.
Please examine yr. files or records & let me hear from you.
The party entitled to the money is a very old & infirm & impoverished sister of the deceased pensioner.
My address is on the outside of the envelope. Respectfully

Sir. In the latter part of last May I forwarded to you the certificate of Chas. Gregory, widow of Abram Gregory, of her enrolment on the pension list. The number of that certificate I do not remember, but believe it was 5070 or 4070: - I made no note of it. With the certificate I forwarded the necessary papers to support my application as her administrator for the back pay due her personal representations. She died during the war of old age & sickness. I have waited nearly two months & have heard nothing from the papers.
Please let me hear from you.
