1847 Petition Claiming a Pension for Soldier's Service/Death in the Revolution

Description

29th Congress, 2nd Session. House Report No. 84.  The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of
Lawrence Van Dyck and others
,  heirs of Jehoachim Van Valdenburg, report that it appears that
Jehoachim Van Valdenburg was in the revolutionary army, and while in the service of his country was killed in a battle with the Indians, leaving a family destitute of support..... This, among many other cases of a like character, does not fall within the limits which Congress has uniformly prescribed for relief. Therefore your committee have come to the conclusion that the prayer of the petitioners should not be granted
.  VG-EX condition. Very small holes at left from binding.
I use a poor/fair/good/very good/excellent/mint grading system and grade very conservatively (see my feedback). This does NOT necessarily correspond to the generic Ebay grading system that we must use. Shipping is .95 in the U.S.
