Dear Sir,
After having written and mailed to you a letter in relation to the claim of Widow Susannah Hubbard for a Pension under the Act of 1838, I discovered upon examination that I had mistaid the Papers, and that they had not been forwarded to your office. After receiving your letter to Mrs. Hubbard, I did not know but that I had overlooked the papers by some mistake and commenced a thorough examination in my office and at last found the Papers in her case which I herewith enclose. — I regret the mistake very much on account of the delay which has been consequent thereon and the anxiety of the widow to have her claim heard. I hope these considerations will entitle her to an early hearing and favorable hearing. And should there be only technical objections to her claim that they will be disregarded. I think there are none and of the merits of the application and of the truth of the facts there can be no doubt. —
I am and have been for a long time well acquainted with the parties and can most cheerfully vouch for their veracity and integrity — I am Yours
Respectfully Horace M. Soper
