Genl N White Esq Sir,
Yours of 12 th inst is received. I do not find Capt Moses Branch's Pay-Roll for the Providence Campaign during the winter of 1778, but I find very many papers confirming Capt Branch's services as rendered there. Amongst Copies of two Receipts which are in my possession - also an extract from a Weekly Return - by one of the Receipts it appears that Capt Moses Branch acted as Pay Master - the Pay roll of his Company was therefore undoubtedly in his possession.
Yours Respectfully John Johnson

S. L. Edwards Esq
Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir I enclose the
application for a pension for her Husband's services under the act of 7 July 1838 W o Providence Webb, — The depositions of those who lived with Sarah Webb her husband was taken some time since with the expectation that there would be an extension of the pension privilege to Widows , and finding, that time would carry off from the stage such proof as was necessary for to support her claim the services rendered by Sarah Webb, in company with the deponents Dudley Hovey Nehemiah Ripley and Leubury Manning they the deponents are drawing pensions under for the services, rendered by each in the separate campaigns, by them testified too, that Sarah Webb served with them The campaign of R.I. in company with Mr John Webb there can not be a doubt of it Mr Webb is very intelligent. and Testifies that he served

and Sarah Webb with him
I had made the application before the form presented by the Secretary of War had arrived, therefore, the assumption that "she was married after her husband left the service" was not included! This fact will appear from the certificate of Marriage. That she was not married until 1790 while the service is proved to have taken place prior to that date
I am Sir with much respect

Dear Sir
Your favor of 22 inst was duly recd in which you state in the case of Prudence Webb for services rendered by her husband I said in the Revolutionary war that "service in R Island in 1776 & 1777 is estimated at eight months in three tours". The error I think will be in among the papers - If I am correct her application proves a draft in Nov 1776 to R Island of three months in Capt Riddell's company Decm 1777 to " do of three months in Capt Bronson's Co Sept 1778 to New London Ct one do in " N Wolos Co July 1779 to New London Gorton Connecticut two do in " N Tinkers Co 9 months in all
I have enclosed certificate of Comptroller to show service of 1776 to her 1 mo 15 ds from Decm 4 1776 to Jan'y 20 1777 1777 & 78 the deposition of John Johnson that the 1778 service was fully detailed 3 mo 0 in Mears Bronson's Company 1778 Sept at New London Ct 1 mo - in Capt N Wolos Co 1779 July at S Det Gorton Ct 2 mo - in Capt N Tinkers Co 7 mo 15 ds You will see that the deponents for these three last services are drawing pensions for same services
Please inform decision on Louisa Raymond's application -
