McKinney writes McMaster in behalf of Widow Nolen. Her marriage certificate that he received through Father Brannen was sufficient only in obtaining her back pay. The certificate of her marriage in New York was not satisfactory to the authorities to get her a pension. McKinney, even though he moved from Latrobe Tennessee to Johnstown, Tennessee, did not know she had not received her pension until informed by an attorney named McAffee. McAffee has tried everything in his power to secure the money for Mrs. Nolen but has been unsuccessful. He appeals to McMaster's sense of kindness and charity to help the Widow in any way possible get a pension. He asks that McMaster take or send Father James Brannen a copy of the letter from Mrs. Nolen's attorney which will explain itself. McKinney implores McMaster to urge Father Brannen to send the necessary evidence as soon as possible because the poor woman needs the money very much. McKinney wishes McMaster to do this favor personally because he feels Father Brannen would take care of it much sooner under those circumstances. Father Brannen may send the evidence direct to John A. McKinney at Johnstown, Tennessee or in care of Father Jerome Kearney at Latrobe, Tennessee. He may also address it to McAfee at Greenburgh, Westmoreland County, Tennessee. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
