Petition of Rebecca Davis to the Massachusetts General Court

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives in General Court Assembled                

Respectfully represents Rebecca Davis of Boston, that she belongs to the Ponkapog tribe of Indians, that she is over eighty years of age, in feeble health and not able to support herself without a continuance of the aid heretofore from then by this Commonwealth.

Wherefore, she prays the usual grant of one hundred dollars may be passed in her favor, payable to the Guardian of the tribe to be by him expended for her benefit.
