Bangs Secretary of State Mass -on said Bangs I have applied for proof of said Hubbard's service, but find none Mr. Bangs thinks Capt Hubbards Company was not of the Militia of Mass - and after much enquiry and the ransacking of old papers I have ascertained, I think satisfactorily, that Colo Peirce Longs Regiment was of the New Hampshire line, of course you have the rolls at Washington and will, no doubt, find on said roll of Capt P. Hubbard Company, the name of the applicant, for he was in said Company beyond a doubt. I would also refer you to the letter of Jeremiah Goodwin of Alfred sent to the Pension office May 9, 1833 together with the application of Benjamin Goodwin of Shapleigh - you will there perceive that Richard Hubbard of Acton (the within applicant), was a witness for said Goodwin - Mr Goodwin in his letter aforesaid refured you to the application of Nathaniel Coffin

Sir,
Accompanying this letter is an abstract of the Record of the marriage of Richard Hubbard with Sarah Parsons now the widow of said Richard 
I see her [illegible] name is recorded as Sally  Sarah is sometimes called Sally amoung us, the applicant for a Pension is the identical person called in the abstract Sally - 
The 7th of Sept 1838 I forwarded to you the application for a pension of the widow Susan Randlet [illegible] of Noah Randlet late a pensioner. I have never received any communication from you or the Pension office concerning said application. It accompanied Mary Goodwins application, her certificate has been received - I feel much axiety about said Susan's application and wish you to write me as soon as convenient and inform me of the cause of delay JC
A few days sinc I forwarded to Albert Newdull of Portland the Agent for buying Pensions in Maine the Power to draw the arrears of Pension due a pensioner James Buzzell at his absense - it was refused payment because as the Agent said it had been due over 8 months + his orders were to pay no such claim untill he had orders so to do

[illegible] July 2.39 [on side of page]

from the pension Department I wish you to inform me how to proceed in such cases on why payment should be refused in cases where the pensioner is dead - 
I received a letter a few days since informing me that the claim of Edmund Coffin to a pension, is disallowed because his name is not found in the Roll of Capt Philip Hubbard Company. I think that should not be conclusive against him as it must be that he served as a soldier or rather waiter to his father in that Company for every man now living who served in said Company will swear positively that he did serve as a soldier under said Philip Hubbard at Kittery Point 
I can forward sundry depositions prooveing the same if it will be of use to him so to do please write me
I am Sir your obt sevt
