EXECUTIVE MANSION, _July 16, 1888_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I return without approval House bill No. 9520, entitled "An act for the
relief of Mary Fitzmorris."
It is proposed by this bill to pension the beneficiary named therein, as
the widow of Edmund Fitzmorris, under the provisions and limitations of
the general pension laws. The name of the beneficiary is already upon
the pension roll, and she is now entitled to receive precisely the sum
as a pensioner which is allowed her under this bill.
As her application to the Pension Bureau was quite lately favorably
acted upon, it is supposed this special bill for her relief was passed
by the Congress in ignorance of that fact.
