The said Noah did not in his former declaration, State, nor doth the said Noah now state, that the Said Fisk for whom the said Noah went into the Service of his Country as a Substitute, was himself ever in the service of his Country. Nor has the said Noah any knowledge or belief, that said Fisk was ever in the Service of his Country as a Soldier.

In this Service alone did said Noah go into the Service as a "Substitute" And said Noah further declares & says that he hath never Since the Revolutionary War to his knowledge Seen said Fisk, or had any knowledge of him - And said Noah further declares that having been more than forty years absent from the scene of his Early acquaintance he knows of no person living who is personally acquainted with his Service aforesaid.-

And said Noah further declares that in the year 1780 he served his Country at least- 7 1/2 months as a private Soldier. for which he claims a pension - The said Noah on further reflection is in doubt whether the name of his orderly Sergeant was Elas, & he cannot recollect positively in regard to his name

Sir,
The papers in support of the claim of Noah Fuller have been examined. He alleges to have served as a substitute for "one Fisk" in Col Sherman's Regiment. No such name is found on the Continental Rolls, except Samuel Fisk who deserted in July 1780. He must prove his services, and comply with the requisitions pointed out in the Brief accompanying his papers.

Dr Sir
Enclosed are the papers of Noah Fuller. The omission in the Certificate of the Magistrate suborned to the Certificate of the Witness is supplied - From the supplemental declaration of the applicant it will be perceived that his language in regard to his service as a Substitute for Fisk was misapprehended by the examining officer - The circumstances of his life for forty years past renders it difficult if not impossible to procure additional testimony as he knows not where to go to find the witnesses if any are yet alive -
Capt Fuller is a man of the fairest character & most scrupulous veracity, and his declaration is entitled to the fullest credit - Be so good as to advise me of the result as soon as the engagement of offices charged with the Examination of the papers will allow
I am very respty

Manchester June 25th 1846.
Hon. J.L. Edwards,
Hond. Sir, I herewith enclose to you the Declaration & vouchers of Lucy Fuller for a Pension, under the law of June 17, 1844 - As it will be found upon the examination of the Declaration of her late husband, Capt Noah Fuller, that he claimed for a larger amount of services than was allowed to him - if upon a reexamination of the case, an increase of the small Pension which was granted to him, could be justifiably and consistently allowed, it would not only be very acceptable to her, but not unworthily bestowed. 
Her husband having formerly possessed a very competent independence as to property, but having become security to a large amount, for a son, who failed in mercantile pursuits, & who has since died poor, the whole, or almost his entire property, was sacrificed or so far embarrassed, that he left his widow, who by an accident, & age has been rendered very lame & inform, but is a very worthy woman in very indigent & dependant circumstances.
If a Copy from the original Rolls in the State of Connecticut, should be required to prove his services, (as I did not draw his original Declaration, & am not conversant with them,) I would thank you with that notice, to send me his statement of those services, that I may more readily refer to them, on those rolls.
I have also enclosed, agreeably to direction, the assent of Wm Martindale, to receive a Pension under the law of July 7, 1838, provided the proof should be deemed unsatisfactory, to embrace her case within the law of July 4, 1836 - No particular form for the purpose, was suggested to me, but I trust that the one which I have adopted, in haste, will be satisfactory - I have had the acknowledgment of it taken before the Judge of Probate, but did not consider that the Certificate & seal of the Register to be necessary, as his official character & signature are otherwise known.
Very respectfully, I am Hond. Sir,
