"It is proposed by this bill to grant a pension to the claimant for the alleged loss of sight in one eye and the impairment of the vision of the other."

"It was so satisfactorily proven that the disease which indirectly caused the death of the claimant's husband was not contracted in the service."

"I herewith return without approval Senate bill No. 1290, entitled 'An act granting a pension to David W. Hamilton.'"

"It seems to me that a stronger case than this should be presented to justify the passage of a special act."
