Summary: Enclosed are copies of four letters in reference to an increase of pension for Jane, which has been before the United States Pensions Committee for some time. The statement has been written as one of an emergency that should be resolved promptly. The author of this letter was an optician that who fitted Jane with glasses to find her blind in one eye, and little sight in the other. She contributes to her support by needle work, but owing to her poor sight and rapidly failing health, she is unable to do it any longer and is therefore depending on the charity of her friends. She also has all of the symptoms of approaching paralysis while being in feeble health. The optician was a charter member of the Woodrow Wilson Democratic League of Essex County, Newark New Jersey, at the time he lived there in 1911.
