He further states that he was personally and intimately acquainted with the said Joseph and Mary Hattom from the time they were so married until the death of the said Joseph Hattom. That said Joseph Hattom died in said Montgomery county North- carolina some time in the winter of the year A.D., 1825.

He further states, that he was knowing to said Joseph

Enclosed find additional evidence in the case of Mrs. Hutton.
She is old and infirm, and I suppose will be unable to procure any further testimony. — There are but few persons now living, who were upon the stage, at the time her husband rendered his services.

Sir,
Enclosed, please find the application of Mrs. Hattow, for Pension. She is now old, infirm and in indigent circumstances, without any near relations to care for her, which makes it desirable that her case be attended to at the earliest period possible. Can she not draw back pension to the date of the act? If not upon this application, what will be required to enable her to do so?
Your early attention, and answer to this will be thankfully received on behalf of an old lady.

April 7th 1853.
Sir,
A few days ago, I rec d a communication from the former Com r . dated Jan 10. 1853. informing me that "The additional evidence filed in the case of Mary Hutton Widow of Joseph Hutton of Ind. did not meet the requirements of his letter to me of July 14 th 1852, and until that was done the claim could not be allowed, and refers me to that letter for the proof required to establish the claim."
I have examined my files carefully & can find no letter of the date referred to, and think it has never reached me. Another reason why I think it has not come to hand, is, that I have certainly furnished the proof on every point that has been suggested to me, by any and all letters received.
I therefore request a copy of the letter referred to, or that you may examine the case de novo , and suggest the deficiency. Mrs Hutton is aged & infirm, and is in need of some assistance.
I am very respectfully

2 ndly He recollects very distinctly, that at the time of the destruction of Petersburg and Richmond, said Mary Halton was then married to said Joseph and that her said husband was absent with the light horse troope, and that she expressed a great deal of uneasiness about him, at the time of both these events.
3 rdly He also recollects that the first news he heard of the surrender of Genl Wallis, he heard at the house of said Joseph Halton, and that said Mary Halton was at that time the mother of one child, which was not born for considerably over one year after their marriage.
