Dear Sir
In attempting to identify Sally Wall or the Widow of Pierre Wall deceased a pension under act of 7th Jan 1832 I have clearly satisfied myself that her husband was not the pensioner who drew the pension and died in 1834 but an entirely different person the pensioner who filed a declaration claiming the benefits of the act of 7th Jan 1838 and joint resolution of 18th Jan 1848 was undoubtedly aware of the fact when the pension was filed I hereby abandon the claim as attesting for present claims.
Very Respectfully Yours,
J. C. Godner
P.S. it is not intended to implicate Mr Wall with an attempt at fraud for he is fully of the opinion that it is a good claim & that Pierre the husband of Sally Wall was the soldier who performed the service

At the request of J. C.

The papers, when copied, can be endorsed to my address in this City, accompanied by the letter from Mr. Godner to me.

Sir,
I have the honor to inform you, that the re- -quisition in my letter of to Mr. Miller, in the case of Nolly Wall, for more satis- -factory proof of the date of the marriage, is fulfilled in the papers forwarded by you the 8 th inst.; but the require- -ment of the Comptroller's certificate in the same letter to establish the services of her husband, has not been complied with.
The witness, Jesse Green has heretofore stultified his own claim, by giving his deposition for others, and the estimate which should be made of his testimony

rendered altogether uncertain.
You intimate that you have had the misfortune to have your applications promptly rejected ; I persuade myself that your con- -sider the misfortune to consist in the character of the claims which have been sent through you with the hope of adding to their weight, rather than to the administration of the law, by which they have been rejected.
I have the honor to be, Sir, very Respectfully, Your obedient servant. J. L. Edwards
