Sir
Some time since I forwarded the applications of several widows for pensions & expected to have the result before this time. They were the cases of Cynthia Dennett on the law for 5 year pension & Hannah Bumsey & others on the law of 1843 for the year pension.
These old ladies have become impatient and insist on my writing you to inquire whether their applications have been received, and if so, whether they may expect their certificates in a short time. I therefore trouble you with this letter.
Yours respectfully
Samuel A. Brown

Rev. J. D. Edward,
Commissioner of Pensions
Sir
I have enclosed the application of the widows Miriam Hall & Sarah Gardner, for pension, under the act of 1813. Declaration by both of them have been forwarded to the Pension Office before & that of Mrs Hall has been returned as insufficient, inasmuch as the certificate of the Register of P atents was not from the proper certifying officer. It was marked N o 2984. As the declaration of Mrs Gardner was subject to the same objection (although I have not heard from that) I have thought best to have new declarations made in both cases & forwarded.
I have received certificates under the act of 1813, for widows Margaret Tobin, Abigail Reed, Elizabeth Fletcher, Hannah Burnham & Mercy Holmes, and on their making application to the Agent for payment, in Portland, none but Margaret Tobin were paid, he stating that no orders had been received to pay the others. Three previous applications have been made with the same fate. Will you be good enough to have orders forwarded for payment to these pensioners.
I also forward herein, the application of the

hence of same Record, into a pension under the 15 year law & if they be entitled to the pension asked for, and this application be not in proper form, please to notify me of its defect
Respectfully Yours &
Wm. L. F. Brown
