I Thaddeus Fuller of Simsbury in Hartford County Connecticut of lawful age do testify that I am well acquaint- ed with Israel Fuller formerly of this town - that he employed Benjamin Ely of this town to aid him in procuring his pension. That on or about the 25 th February last I went with said Israel to Hartford, that he then & there made oath before Judge Brace that he was a soldier in the revolutionary war, &c. & and afterward, I do not particularly recollect when, said Israel Fuller told me that said Ely had procured his pension certificate - & said Ely also told me the same. I have seen said certificate, it is dated the twenty first day of June one thousand eight hundred & nineteen, & signed J. L. Edwards in the absence of and on behalf of the Secretary of War - That the last name or surname in the certificate is Fuller instead of Fuller - I never knew nor did I ever hear of any person living in this town by the name of Israel Fuller. - Fuller is a common name. That I am fully persuaded the mistake in the initial letter of the last name of said Israel in the Certificate was accidental merely. - The name perhaps not being written plainly in the papers sent to the War Office.

Simsbury, Hartford County S. Sept. 18 - 1819 - This day personally appeared Thaddeus Fuller who subscribed the above in my presence & made solemn oath to the truth thereof before me

Simsbury, Sept. 17-1819.
(Hartford County, Conn.)
Honorable John C. Calhoun,
Well knowing the duties
of the Honorable Secretary are arduous & continual, I would not give him unnecessary trouble. But Sir, there has been made a casual mistake in the enclosed certificate, owing probably to my imperfect hand writing; the initial letter of the surname should have been T not F. The name of this person is Israel Fuller, not Israel Fueler. Fuller is a common name in this town. Fuller is not, there being only one of this name & he has recently moved here.
I did not discover the aforementioned mistake of the initial letter of the surname till this week, when I was making a copy of the certificate for receiving the money, &c. —
The Honorable Secretary will cause another certificate to be made & forwarded to me, or to note the said mistake on the back of the enclosed certificate, or in such way as the Secretary shall judge proper, grant relief to said Israel Fuller.
I assisted said Fuller in procuring his pension; — I also assisted W m Andrews Jr. of this town & a few others.
With much respect I am
Benjamin Ely
Simsbury is a post-town & the Secretary will cause the returns to be made to me in this town —

Very respectfully yours
