Farmington N. H. Jan. 10 th 1851 To the Commissioner of Pensions.
We have just recd. yours enclosing a Pension Certificate for Eunice Haines, which we think is not correct - This Certificate is No. 718 - and is "recorded in the Pension office on Roll of Pensioners under act February 2 nd 1848. Page 74. Vol. 1 -"
We think we are entitled under the act of July 1 st 1848 to draw back pay or arrearages, And instead of the sum of $40.00 which the old lady has been drawing she should have drawn $96.00 the year for the whole time back 1836 - Others have so drawn as under stand and why should not this Pension?
We have no time nor disposition to go into an argument on these statutes, but write this to call your attention to the subject and if we are correct in our supposition, we will on receiving information thereof return this Certificate and obtain such one as we are entitled to -
Respectfully yours &c N. G. N. Eastman
