EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 23, 1886_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I hereby return without approval House bill No. 7167, entitled "An act
for the relief of Mrs. Maria Hunter."
The beneficiary named in this bill, to whom it is therein proposed to
grant a pension at the rate of $50 a month, on the 23d day of March,
1886, filed her application for a pension in the Pension Bureau, where
it is still pending undetermined.
Although the deceased soldier held a high rank, I have no doubt his
widow will receive ample justice through the instrumentality organized
for the purpose of dispensing the nation's grateful acknowledgment of
military service in its defense.
