The heirs of Francis Greene, who was a captain in the Massachusetts troops in the war of the Revolution, have been repeatedly written to by Washington agents for claims that he did not receive when living the full pension to which he was entitled. He received under the act of May 15 th 1828, $40. pr. month as Captain. The enclosed certificate from our Secretary of State shows, that when he was a Lieutenant, he acted for 23 months as "muster-master", and received as such muster-master 78 shillings per month, in addition to his pay as a Lieutenant. He is styled in papers in the possession of his heirs, in the nature of orders to him Commissary of Musters during the same period.
Was he entitled to more pension than he received, - or are there any arrearages to which his children are entitled? It is respectfully requested that a full examination and answer be given, and that the enclosed certificate be returned.
Respy. Your Obt. Servt.
