Sir,
I have taken the the liberty of sending you herewith
enclosed, further testimony in behalf of the claim of Dinah
Patterson, the widow of Thomas Patterson a soldier of the
revolution, From your last letter I infer, that the only
difficulty in the way of paying her claim, is proof or the marriage
before 1794, with all due respect, permit me to say that
two of the witnesses prove the marriage to have taken place in 
1792, Mrs Drury and Mrs Miria Brown, both reputable
witnesses and to whose testimony I beg leave to call your 
attention.  Mr Randall our representative in Congress
is well acquainted, I believe, with most of the persons that
have testified in behalf of the applicant, and I have no doubt
will say what he thinks of their respectability etc, The applicant
for a pension is an old free woman of colour, and of course,
no record testimony can be obtained of her marriage. If the 
testimony produced is not sufficient to enable her to obtain
the benefit of the act of Congress, She must abandon her
claim as nothing further can be produced.
I am very respectfully,
Yr Obt Sr

Sir,
I have just received from Alexr Randall Esqr, that [crossed out]
your letter to him of the 30th [illegible], respecting the case of Dinah
Patterson, widow of Thomas Patterson, decd,-- with the papers
sent Mr Randall, I sent you the affidavit of Mrs Sarah
Drury, a highly respectable lad [crossed out] Lady who resides in the neighbourhood
of Annapolis, and who testifies that Thos and
Dinah Patterson (free people of color) were married at her
mothers house in 1792, and in her presence--as they were free
people of colour, no record testimony can be obtained of their
marriage, but I should presume that the affidavit of Mrs
Drury is sufficient evidence of the marriage, She is known,
I believe to Mr Randall, and to most of the citizens of her
neighbourhood as a Lady of great respectability.--I know of
no other person who was present at the marriage, but if evidence
as to the character of Mrs Drury is necessary, it can be
furnished immediately.--In regard to Thomas Patterson having
served in the Maryland line, I enclose you the certificate
of Mr Brewer, the Regr Land Off who has charge of the
records belonging to the Revolution, and which certificate
I sent you with the first declaration but was returned-- [next word crossed out]
proof of his identity, I believe was also sent on to Mr Randall
with the papers.-- I should be glad to hear from you what
other testimony will be required, (if any) but I do not know of
any other person that was present at the marriage, but

that he knew Dinah Patterson, the widow of Thomas
Patterson, a soldier of the Revolution, and that they were
married in 1792. I hope this, with the other testimony

to enable her to obtain her pension.-- Anthony Worthington, has 
always resided in the neighbourhood of Mrs Drury [name crossed out] Simmonds

married some time in 1792 and that she was present at the
marriage, permit me again to call your attention to the
