Sir
Enclosed is the affidavit of Mary Walker widow of Jeremiah Walker who was a Revolutionary Soldier. She has no proof of his service but says he received bounty land in Kentucky for his services. I suppose if that was the case by reference to the Rolls of those who received bounty land there would be sufficient proof of his service and if it is. She will then adduce testimony of her identity Marriage &c.
If I am mistaken as to what will be sufficient proof. You will please inform me how to proceed with her case. For although it is a difficult case there is very little doubt that it is a just one.
I am Respectfully your Obedient servant &c
