Mr Edwards
Sir
I rec'd your letter wishing me to assist Mr Levi Lovering in getting his Fathers pension. I have been credibly informed that his father died September 1844. Mr Sherman wrote me on the same subject and I wrote him the same. Mr. Lovering says there has been a number sworn who testify to the same which he says you will find on some of the papers. I think the  statements which have been sent you are correct, and he thinks he has sent you all the information required of him. Jesse Loverings wife died January 17, 1840 as I have been informed. Olive McFarland Sister to Mr Lovering was knowing to all the facts concerning his fathers death and has sworn to the above before Amara Eames Esq Justice in this place, she is a woman of good character. I do not know as I can give you any more information on the subject. Mr. Lovering is a poor man but in my opinion worthy of credit, and I believe him entitled to his Fathers back pay. 
Yrs Respectfully P.U.

Sir, 
I deem it proper to make a statement in
writing in reference to the case of Jesse Lovering the papers relating to which I filed in your Office today. It is impracticable to procure the affidavits of the Clergyman and Sexton who officiated at the funeral of Jesse Lovering. The clergyman is dead and the Sexton cannot be found, as I have ascertained from
a letter from Levi Lovering the son of said Jesse
Lovering. In lieu of this I have filed the
evidence the death of the PostMaster at
Hopkinton Mass (Silas Moore) also that of several citizens of that town. It is admissible, I believe where the testimony of the Clergyman and Sexton cannot from any circumstance be had, to receive in place of it, that of respectable Citizens, & this objection as to the time of his death is removed. I have filed an affidavit as to the credibility of Sullivan Sheffield the witness who has given important testimony in this case, as required by
your letter on the subject and in respect to what I believe is the only remaining material
difficulty noticed by you (the error in Mr Levi
Page 36

Loverings testimony as to the death of his father) I have to observe that he states in his
letter that the mistake was occasioned by
on misunderstanding of those who
knew when his father died, and that he
and requested the magistrate to explain the
error in one of the affidavits, he had forwarded.
As it is believed that all the material
obligations requisitions of your office are
complied with by the papers I submitted
to do and as the claimant is entreating
prompt action on his case and it seems
perfectly impracticable to obtain further
proof, let me hope that the papers filed be considered sufficient to authorize an allowance of the claim.

we further certify that Sullivan Sheffield heretofore named in the Petition of the heirs of Jesse Lovering aforesaid for pension money due said Jesse, for military service in the revolutionary war, is a person that sustains

Sir,
The papers which you deposited here in the case of Jesse Lovering, deceased, have been examined and filed. It is alleged in these papers that the deceased served eight months
as a Sergeant in 1775. The certificate of the Secretary of State shews but a few days more than six months service. No pension,
however, can be granted for that service, unless you can shew by more satisfactory evidence than that which has been produced, that you are the son of the person who performed the service set forth in the Secretary's certificate. It must also be
shown by the testimony of two credible and disinterested witnesses that Joseph Lovering died on the day mentioned in your declaration. The affidavits of the clergyman and the
Sexton who officiated at the funeral are usually required in such cases as this. Sullivan Sheffield's affidavit states that Jesse Lovering died in 1844, and you have sworn that he
died in 1842. Another objection to Mr. Sheffield's affidavit is that he is not certified to be a credible witness
In order to identify your father with the person whose name is found in the Secretary's Office at Boston, you should produce proof from his neighbors, that he always had the reputation
of having been a revolutionary soldier, and you should also shew by like evidence that Jesse Lovering, decd late of Hopkinton, Mass
was known as your father. You should also state when and where the wife of Jesse Lovering died, and give her name.

I am respectfully &c
