Hello! I finally received the Pension Documents Packet (NATF 85) from the National Archives that I requested on January 4th! I had almost forgotten that I had sent away for them! Does anyone know what the difference is between the packet I received for $14.75 (about 12 legal sized pages of very cool info!) and the "Full Pension Application File" which costs $37? I didn't understand the difference when I submitted the application, so I obviously chose the less expensive option. If the "Full" packet has enough additional info to justify the cost, I'd like to get a check in the mail right away so that I might get it before Christmas! Thanks for all the great help, Rick Nicholson

Rick, What kind of info was in the 12 pages? I have the one sheet from www.ancestry.com that tells where and when the widow filed.
