Sir
I herewith enclose you the affidavits of Rev W. Tracy and Rev A. T. Rankin in relation to the claim of the heirs of Cornelius & Alsey Treat to a Pension filed in your office some five or six months since - These aff. relate to the death of Cornelius & Alsey very from the clergyman who officiated at their funeral
I rec d : a letter from the department dated Nov 8, 1854, objecting to the declaration because it was not made in open court before a court of record, and that their marriage & death were not proved.
In relation to their marriage the testimony of John Park on file, is as strong as can be made as no person living is

known to have witnessed the marriage of The fact that they lived together, as husband & wife, and were so regarded in the community where they lived, can be abundantly proved. This is the kind of testimony brought out in John Park's aff.
With regard to the Declaration not being made in open court, I can only say that this course is the same heretofore pursued in numerous cases. The case of the heirs of John Moore who rec d a pension came under my own observation.
W. Treats have aimed to establish their claims without resorting to attorneys or agents, which is attended with large expenses. But if the rules of the department are such now as not to be departed from in this case, W. Treats will endeavor to comply with it. In the mean time consistent I would like to have you send me the forms and in- structions in such cases. The age

of some of the witnesses are such that this method of proof will be attended with difficulty -
If the omission of certifying to the credibility of the witnesses is impor- tant, that can only be remedied by returning those off. when it is omitted - All those who were sworn by me I know to be of the highest respectability -
The early attention to the depart- ment to the subject is respectfully requested -
Truly Yours &c
