Job [Macomber], she then returned home with him as Husband and wife and continued to live with him upwards of forty years, until his death in that same relation, and having in that time a family of five children.

Augusta, Me, Augt. 14. 1839

Sir,
Herewith you will receive the claim of Mrs Adams under the Act of July 7. 1838.

It will appear by the additional certificate of Chief Justice Westman that Mrs Adams is unable to appear in open Court, being afflicted with the Dropsy, the evidence of the marriage is believed to be complete. 
I am satisfied that there is not a doubt of the fact in the town where Mrs A. resides, & the most highly respectable citizens are her friends in assisting her to procure a pension.

The pension certificate may be sent to either Mr Morton or myself.

I am [ ] very respectfully
[Yr Hbl Svt]
[Mr -- Jr ]

J. L. Edwards Esqr.
