Sir
Enclosed I send you the application of Isaiah Mable for a pension under the act of 1832 - His pecuniary circumstances are now such that he has need of the pension to which he is believed to be entitled, and his friends have persuaded him to apply for it - Col. Finch, of Greenbush, who called with him at my office, represents him to be a very worthy and honest man - and the manner of the old Soldier in telling his Story, is such as to carry with it, an entire conviction of its truth -
I trust the papers sent will be found sufficient and satisfactory - if not, he will furnish any additional information in his power.
An early answer is requested -
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servt -

To H. L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions Sir
I have been applied to by Isaiah Marble an old Revolutionary soldier to prepare the necessary papers in order to procure for him a pension for services during the war of the Revolution. On examination I learn from him that he sent on a declaration to the War Department sometime during the month of December 1835, for the purpose of procuring such pension. As those papers were prepared, as he informs me by one Caleb Finch who has left this part of the Country, I cannot learn wherein the papers were deficient. If it be not asking too much I should be glad to receive a copy of the papers from your department and the particulars wherein they are deficient.
Yours truly
