In the case of Eliz a Mitman, I have had the depositions of witnesses returned from the Dept, with a letter under date of May 24 th . stating that they are returned that they may be duly authenticated & the credibility of the deponents certified. The latter has been done by the Justice of the Peace before whom the depositions were taken, in both cases. Is not this sufficient? If so, what more is required.
Resps to Mr. Webb

Sir,
The case of Mrs. Witman has been placed in my hands for the purpose of proof of supplying such evidence as is acceptable as appears from your letter to Mr. Keim dated Feb 17. 1840 to be wanting. That letter states that "the alleged service in 1780 should be specified showing the duration of the service & under what officers performed." This we have been able to do - but can find no further evidence in reference to the case. The Widow from mental infirmity has lately become entirely unable to add to her statements - nor from what her friend says did an oath now be admitted to her.
She is infirm & poor - her husband no doubt served in the army - old men here state that he was always known as a Rev. Soldier - that he was said lost his hearing by the firing of Cannon &c. May I ask that the evidence submitted now & on file may receive the favorable consideration of the Dept
Very respectfully
Hon. J. Edwards
W. M. Keim
The evidence of Mr. Weldy who speaks of firing of Cannon of course alludes to some other service than that spoken of by Schmitt

Sir
I have been charged by you with complaining and more often than any others. I see would respectfully ask if it is to be expected that I can do other than complain and not only complain to you but to an other source. On the 19th of Sept r last between four and five months the claim of Mrs. Elizabeth Dorr Dorr was deposited with you for adjudication and on the 12th of October the claim of the Coheirs of Mrs. Williams widow of which Mrs. Williams was deposited with you and you have been repeatedly applied to relative to these two cases and yet to this day no word relative to these cases
Again Sir on the 3rd just now three days short of one month I enclosed you the affidavit of Mrs. Wirtman. This was a case requiring no auditing or adjudication. but I simply to examine your Register of the Pa Agency and see if Elizabeth Wirtman who was filed on the Pennsylvania Agency on the 12th of Sept r 1839 for five years Pension and who has never yet drawn any was the same Elizabeth Wirtman whose affidavit I had enclosed you and if so to send her the necessary evidence or authority to draw this five years Pension. yet to this day a case which required no adjudication no answer has been had
This state of things is too much and cannot be tamely submitted to. I shall expect an answer to Philadelphia by Friday's Mail where you will please forward such of the before named claims as may have been passed on Sunday by Saturday's Mail if not earlier
Yours most respectfully Thomson Cross

Also I have done in a few minutes from the end of the letter began at same time say two days or more. I now address you on two subjects which I have to ask your earliest attention. To wit the claim of the 6th Division of Col. Williams the widow of Richard W. Williams claim of P. K. H. & Co. New York was filed with you on the 12th of Octo- ber last since which I have heard nothing from you relative to them. As I shall be in New York within fourteen days I have to ask of you to do me the kindness and be pleased to inform me the parties whose claim has now been between them and pass over the before you to take their case up and if allowed effect the contribution to the City of New York as if not allowed and any further require- ment is made advise me of it at that place
Again on the 3rd of January I deposited with you the official record of Mrs. Elizabeth Whitman of Reading since then I have heard nothing relative to it. It being a case which required no adjudication I did not trouble a number of Congress with it as I had done in 12 or 15 cases. This case as before said required no adjudication it was all settled by an examination of your register of allowances office your Division. This being testified that she did apply for a Division under the act of 4th July 1838 as the widow of Whitman . That her papers were examined in her County Pa. That until the present day she has not at any time received any information relative to the disappoin- tment of her claim nor has she ever received her Division Certificate costs. And as there is on the rolls of the Division Agency at Harris- burg a Division of the name of Elizabeth Whitman who ap- pears to have been placed on the list of free years Division on the 12th of Sept 1839, and as such Division has never at any time applied for such Division. The conclusion necessarily is that this Elizabeth Whitman who applied in 1838 and in Reading Pa last has not to the present day had any advice relative to her claim is the same individual who appears on the Division rolls in Pennsylvania. And that her Division Certificate has never been sent her or been lost or mislaid. This as before said required no adjudication but only an examination of the record and if she proved to be the proper person that you would issue the necessary papers
