Sir,
I enclose some papers relative to James Hadlys application for a Pension.  I have also enclosed in a separate wrapper directed to the Secretary of War.  Hadly declaration and further proof of service.  If any thing more is wanted to place Hadly on the Pension List I wish you would write me and give particular direction what more is wanted.

The papers here enclosed are Van Campen & Teeples Affidavits to the enlistment & service of Hadly.  

The enclosure I have directed to the Secretary of War contained Hadleys statement with further proof.  I sent this last on to get the Clerks Certificate & then to be mailed.  It will probably go in with the same mail and both arrive together, in a circular of May 1828 signed by Col Ogden & others it is mentioned that each pensioner may direct what compensation he was willing to make to the
Page 26

the Agents for thier expenses in advocating popose of the present law.  In answer to this Mr. Hadly is willing to do as others have done, if Col Ogden is still at Washington and assisting the Pensions in regard to their application it is no more than Justice to make the compensation.  

I shall direct this letter as I did the other to the Secretary of War at which department I think the application ought to be made but if the papers belong to the Secretary of the Treasury they can be sent to that office or hand it to Col Ogden if he should be there attending to this business.
Very Respectfully

Dear Sir
The affidavits in behalf of Mrs Rhoda Hadley are herein returned to you with the certificates thereon as near as may be.  W. B. Jones Esq it seems is not personally acquainted with Jacob Jones the deponent which fact I was not aware of until I sent him the afft for his signature to the certificate
The fact of a disagreement between the claimant & one of the witnesses in regard to the time of Marriage I think goes to show that there is no concert of action between the claimant and witness for the purpose of obtaining a pension.  I don't think it at all strange that a witness should be mistaken as to a certain time so long ago in the absence of any record proof to refresh his memory.  It is almost impossible for the claimant or any other person to get witnesses to swear to a certain time so long ago unless they have some record proof to refer to.  I don't think she will be able to establish the point of her marriage any more definitely than she has if however she can.  I will forward the proof as soon as it can be got at which I think very doubtful.  It appears to me that the proof already forwarded would be sufficient but of this I of course am not the judge.
Should her application be finally rejected please write me that I may set the old ladys heart at rest about it
