My dear Mr. Cowles:

Reference is made to your letter of December 9, in regard to securing, for your wife, a copy of the affidavit of Thomas Halliberton, on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension of his brother William (S. 9121).

It is presumed that bureau letter in regard to the matter has reached Mrs. Cowles, as it was mailed to her on December 12.

It is very much regretted that her letter could not have been answered sooner. The number of such requests is numerous and the clerical force available for the purpose of furnishing information in regard to the Revolutionary War is limited, consequently it has not been possible to make prompt reply to each inquiry. Letters are answered as rapidly as possible in order of receipt.

Very truly yours,

[page divider]

EXPLANATORY NOTES.

*QUERE V.  In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:

"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of this service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades;  For [fill in the blank] year [fill in the blank] months. and [fill in the blank] days, I served as a [fill in the blank] For [fill in the blank] months and [fill in the blank] days, I served as a [fill in the blank]; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 31

3

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months [about three or four months is in italics] is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.

+QIERE XIV.   Proof of Service. [in italics]

In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.

++QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers. [in italics]

In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

[hand pointing image] In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
