Dear Sir
In your last communication respecting the application of Mrs. Isabella Patrick widow of Charles Patrick for a pension you require the original family record of the births of the children to be sent - before further inquiry I find no such record to exist; an imperfect copy being the only record in existence. The Magistrate N. Curry [Corry] Esq. who married the claimant to her husband Charles Patrick is fully assured that the marriage took place before the year 1794 from the fact, that the oldest child of Isabella is about the same age of one of his own children of whose age he has a record. Additional evidence of this kind can be adduced to show that the marriage in question took place before the year 1794. If the evidence already furnished on this point to the Department be deemed insufficient, please to inform
Page 22

Me what more will be required, feeling confident of the justice of the claim.
Yours [illegible]

Dear Sir
The birth of Gabriel Patrick seems to be the only one of a numerous family, that is on record. If this record, from it's mutlitated condition should not prove satisfactory, I hope the statement of the deponent from her own personal knowledge will be sufficient to remove all further difficulty. The deponent is the acknowledged Sister of Isabella Patrick, the applicant, and is also the sister-in-law by the marriage of John Patrick, the brother of Charles Patrick deceased. the applicant for a pension has now adduced the best proof of her marriage that is in her power, & upon your decission [decision] depends the fate of her claim. Please to inform me of your decission [decision] as soon as convenient as the claim has been a long time pending.
