Vir,

I have the honor to return you the deposition of James [illegible] in the care of Mary Sadler, that his credibility may be certified and the official character of the Justice duly attached under the Seal of the Clerk.

The alleged date of the marriage shared be established by a certified copy of the marriage bond, which should be on that file of the Clerk of Halifax County Virginia. If there be no record, it is certainly in her favor to show, by respectable witnesses, that she removed to South Carolina before January 1794, as the acknowledged wife of her late husband.

I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your observant,
