This certificate was procured in accordance with the letter received from the Department in this

Sir, You will receive with this letter the application of Priscilla Green, widow of Ebenezer Green for a pension under the act of 1838.
I think you will find the marriage abundantly proved by the Family Record of their ages and the births of their children without any reference to the three other affidavits confirmatory.
I believe the fact is sufficiently notorious that there were no Marriage Records kept in the town in this State at that time without subjecting the widow to the trouble and expense of procuring
proof from the town that there is no record and more especially as the marriage is so fully established in this case by a family friend and affidavits.

To J.S. Edroadly, Esq.
/Pension Department
Dear Sir-
I do enclose the Pension Papers of Ebenezer Green - I perceive by an endorsement on the [unclear] of objecting to his claim, that was some difficulty in reconciling his service in 1781 and 1782. I think that by reference to his statement, you will see that there is no difficulty, and if there is a little seeming obscurity, that the fault is in  my draft. He enlisted for nine months at first some time in the month of April or May 1781 and in the July following and while he was still in the service under the nine months enlistment, he re-enlisted for three years and all his services then were under this three years' enlistment.
After I had taken down Mr. Green's statement  of his first enlistment, fearing I had not stated the circumstances of his first enlistment in an intelligible manner, I re stated them.
Under these circumstances I think there can be no obscurity in his statement and that the facts are all true as I have stated I have no doubt. I am well acquainted with Mr, Green and he is one of our most respectable citizens and justly entitled to the compensation for his service.
I am Sir, Yours
Very Respectfully
H. U. Sopner
