With this I send you the Application of Dorcas Horn for Pension. Will you give it your attention & as early as convenient answer me relative to it
Respectfully Yours

Gt Falls June 12 th 1854
Dear Sir
I herewith transmit to you Additional Evidence in support of Dorcas Horns claim for Pension. The discrepancy spoken of in your letter of Sept 22 nd 1853 in the testimony of the claimant and Lydia Horn relative to the death of Andrew Horn the first is accounted for from the fact, that Gusham Horn the Husband of the said Lydia Horn died in the year 1826 and in her affidavit she mistook the date of the death of the said Andrew Horn for that of her Husband Gusham Horn
Please give this your attention at your convenience and very much oblige
Your Obed Servt Percy B Shapleigh
