Sir
Inclosed I forward the oath of the town Clerk of Palatine relating to the marriage of Richard Coppernoll also his original family record; the clerks statement is not as it should be but is such as he sent me, supposing that to be inadmissible, I presume the other will be considered well anthenticated and taken as sufficient proof. Mrs. Coppernoll authorises me to say she will accept a certificate according to the terms of your letter to the Hon M.J. Bovee and rely on further proof to increase the amt.

PS Believing that Thomas Sammons Esqr. can give some additional information as to the services in Capt Getman's company and as he is now at Washington, I have written to him on the subject, he will probably call on you, if he is still in the city. Will you defer making out the certificate a day or two to give him an opportunity to add his information.
