Sir
Sarah Hall, who was on the Pension Roll at The Madison agency at the rate of $60. per annum, died in February. She was The Widow of William Hall a Revolutionary Soldier. She drew only $60. a year. — and I wish to learn from you if her children are entitled to draw arrears or back pension money in cases where The pensioner if living would be entitled to back pension monies — Also if the Administrator Administrator of the Estate of Sarah Hall can draw arrears of pensions due back to Hall d ce . I would be glad if you would send me the last forms necessary to obtain back pensions, also the law governing the proceedings. Sarah Hall if living certainly would be entitled to an increase of pension and back pension monies upon The same principle that many Widows of the same class have obtained them, and her Children think they are entitled to draw all arrears up to the date of her death. It will save some trouble & expense if the administrator could draw this money. He has One of her sons, or sons in law, will administer upon her Estate, The proof is in this Pefferon County and some of her children live in Illinois & Iowa. Please answer this at your earliest convenience.
Very Respectfully, Amos Hillis

Dear Sir You will recollect that in April last I sent you the Declaration and accompanying papers of Mrs Sarah Hall of Jefferson County Indiana who is an applicant for a Pension I have never ascertained why her Certificate was not sent.

Sir
Enclosed you will receive the application of William Hall for a pension. You will discover in this first application that he set out that he served in Capt. Long's Company. In his next application he states that he served in Capt. VanSwearingen's company, he accounts for the variance in this way that he was a soldier almost all the time of the war. and did serve in Capt. Long's Company one term but when proof of service was required he could not prove his service under that enlistment so satisfactorily as he could the enlistment under Capt. VanSwearingen, and for that reason he discontinued the last time under the enlistment and served under VanSwearingen having explained he could prove that service.
I am yours James L. Edwards Esq. William Hendricks
