NOTE.—The declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested persons proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration; and in such case, other evidence—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible.
In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.

Sir.
A short time ago Mrs Joseph R Languell wrote to you I think under date of the 11 th inst t in relation to the claim of Elizabeth Williamson widow of William A Williamson who was a revolutionary pensioner, you were kind enough to furnish copies of such documents as were within your control which documents show (and I beg leave to refer you to them) the date of the death of the said Williamson and the receipt of the last payment of his pension to his widow and admin trator dated the 4 th day of March 1827. The object of my present communication to you after advertizing to these facts is to request that the name of Mrs Williamson may be placed on the pension roll and that she may receive the pension to which she is entitled under the Act of Congress approved the 29 th of July 1840 which appears in every respect to entitle her case - her deceased husband was a revolutionary soldier, his marriage with her took place prior to the year 1800 - he died on the 17 th of July 1899 and she has remained his widow from the

the 12th day May 1827 down to this period - Mrs Williamson is a very respectable and worthy woman and now at a very advanced stage of life. whatever relief is afforded should be afforded promptly, in order that it may be effectual. If any other documents should be required than those of which you are already possessed I think upon the examination of the enclosed papers which I have caused to be appended to the copies of papers originally furnished the Department will have every reason to be satisfied with the legality and justice of her claim. Do me the favor either to correspond with me directly or through Mr Ingersoll in relation to this matter and believe me

Treasury Department Third Auditor's Office January 26 th 1849.
Sir,
I have the honor to return the letters left by you at the Office yesterday, & have to state, in reply to the request of Mr. Brown, in behalf of the widow of William Williamson, late a pensioner of the U. S. to be furnished with "her papers that were sent to the War Office at Washington in the Spring of 1827." that it is contrary to a rule of Office to part with Original papers upon which money has been paid by the Government. I have, however, caused to be prepared, & herewith enclose, authenticated copies of all the papers in question, which I hope may answer the purpose Mr. Williamson may have in view
With great respect
Your Ob. Serv t
