Penison Granted to Mrs Semple Daughter of President Tyler
The Senate pensions committee has recommended increasing Mrs Letitia Tyler Semple’s pension to 30 dollars monthly. She is the elderly daughter of John Tyler, once mistress of the White House, now an inmate of the Louise Home in Washington, with no property or relatives to aid her. Her letter to Senator Vest appeals for the same pension increase granted to Mrs Dandridge, arguing her late husband served in the Mexican War and that she lacks any other income.
