L Edwards Esq Com Pension
Sir
I have been requested to send you the enclosed certificates from the Aud. Genls. office, relative to the service of Capt. Leut Edward James in the war of the Revolution which it is supposed will establish right of his widow Margaret James to a pension although not to as much as his services entitle her to. The militia rolls of the state are however so defective that at this time no further proof can be found and as Mrs James is very poor it is thought better to have her claim prep for this portion than wait for the prospect of proving evidence to establish a full pension
I am also requested to enclose an old receipt book which it is said has been in the family of her father & husband during their life times & has been kept up in hers since their decease which

will fully establish her identity as the widow of the said Leaph-Lint, Edward James - I am requested to refer you particularly to a receipt found on the page turned down
As she is quite poor the would be a poor to the parties if you would care the case to be acted on at once.
Very Respectfully
Your obd. Servt
Thy Pamsey
