“Sir
About sixteen years since
my Father Richard Stanley made
application for a Pension I understand that
the papers were all right and that my
Father dying not a great while after
said papers were sent, the matter has
laid thus since his death.
Will you have the kindness to examine
and let me know what has been done in
the matter, whether a pension was allowed
him, or whether or not he is entitled to
a pension from the papers on file, or
whether anything at this late date will
be allowed his heirs.
Cal Henry A. Morrison of this
place has been attending to the case
for the last four years, and I cannot
ascertain what he has done in the case
hence my enquiry as above.
Rickd. Stanley has only three
heirs living, and I am authorized to act
for the other (two) heirs.
I shall take it as a great
favor if you will give me the desired
information.
Very Respectfully
your servant
George Standley
