State of Maine, County of Cumberland, this certifies that Joseph Webber and Elizabeth Stant, both of Cape Elizabeth, were joined in marriage on the sixth of November, seventeen hundred and eighty, by the Rev. Ephraim Clark. A certified copy of the original record was attested by James Dyer, Town Clerk of Cape Elizabeth, on August 23rd, 1836, and is part of a bounty land warrant application file. 
This document provides personal and service details for Joseph Webber, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, to support his claim for a land grant. These records often contain valuable genealogical information such as marriage dates and locations, which help to verify a veteran's service and eligibility for a pension or land.

This document is a page from a Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File for John Massey of North Carolina, found within the records of the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions. 
The image you provided appears to be a page from a specific file (W. 4,724) related to this application. The names "Edward Hanstall" (likely "Hansford") and "Woodbury" appear to be signatures or notations on the official document. 
While the exact context of this specific page requires further research into the full file, related documents show interactions involving an "Edward Hansford" and historical figures like Thomas Jefferson. The "Woodbury" notation could refer to one of several historical figures or places named Woodbury that appear in historical records.

The document is a letter dated Dec 19, 1838, from an individual named Lenthall at the House of Representatives. The recipient's name is not explicitly mentioned, but the salutation is "Dear Sir". 
Summary of the Letter
In the letter, Lenthall forwards an "enclosed memo" from Salem, Massachusetts. The author asks the recipient to help by "making the necessary motion" in relation to the memo. The text provided in the user query has a slight transcription error, as the word appears to be "necessary" rather than "misary" based on common historical language and context. 
The most famous "William Lenthall" was an English politician and Speaker of the House of Commons during the English Civil War in the mid-1600s, who famously defied King Charles I. There is no information in the search results linking a Lenthall to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1838.

This image displays an original historical document from 1791, which appears to be part of a Revolutionary War pension application file for a soldier named Peter Lawyer. The document is a piece of handwritten correspondence, folded into a self-contained envelope, a common practice for letter writing in the 18th century to save on paper and postage costs. 
Document Details
Date: The date "1791" is clearly visible, noted vertically on the left side of the document.
Source: The document is identified in archives as part of the "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File S. 40,913, for Peter Lawyer, Pennsylvania".
Handwriting: The script used is characteristic of the period, possibly English roundhand or a similar style, and is challenging to read compared to modern handwriting. Projects by institutions like the National Archives encourage volunteers to help decode such historical cursive documents to make them more accessible.
Archival Context: The visual style and context suggest it is likely archived within systems like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) or the National Archives, where many such records are digitized and made available to the public.

Document Context
The document concerns the application for Revolutionary War widows' pensions under the Federal Pension Act of 1838.
The Act of 1838 provided a five-year pension to widows who were married to a veteran before January 1, 1794, relaxing previous restrictions which required marriage before the war ended in 1783.
The letter discusses the construction of the act regarding "an intermediate a subsequent marriage" and how the applicant's status as a widow at the time the act was passed affects their eligibility.
The image metadata indicates the file number is Fold3 File #28058808 and lists additional names: Elizabeth Woodbury, John Anderson, and Jas L Edwards. It is part of the records held by the National Archives (catalog.archives.gov/id/1).
