Boston August 13 th 1846
Sir
I have received your letter of the 4 th December 1845 relative to the application of Lucy Woolley widow of Nathan Woolley, of Windham County Vermont for an increase of her pension under the act of 1838 in which you say that the alleged services under Capt. Proctor have been disallowed — and that any services performed in Col Weston's Regt under the enlistment of January 1777 of said Woolley should be found on the Pay Rolls in the State Department at Boston — I now enclose a certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Massachusetts by which it appears that there is no roll of Col Weston for January 1777. — This negative certificate will lay the foundation, as I suppose, for any other evidence none in your office as to that service —
I am very respectfully y r obedt Servt

Sir I have received from the Pensions Office certificates for Lucy Woolsey Widow of Nathan Woolsey, by which it seems that but one year service was allowed, I shall as soon as convenient make proof of some further service in the year 1777 with the expectation that the pension will be enlarged upon making the proof. If I am incorrect in this supposition I should deem it a favor to be informed of it. -

Sir
I enclose a certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Massachusetts shewing 1 month and 9 days service of Nathaw Woolley, in addition to the service under Col Baldwin, for which last mentioned service his widow Lucy Woolley of Windham County in the State of Vermont has already been pensioned under the acts of 1838. 1843 & 1844. If the proof of the 1 month and 9 days service is satisfactory you will please send me an additional certificate
It is stated in her application to the Secretary of State annexed to the certificate enclosed, that Nathaw Woolley enlisted for during the War , if so, the rolls of such service I suppose are in your office and not in the office of the Secy of State of this State, - and to such rolls I would refer you for further proof if such reference is not inconsistent with the rules of your office. It is believed he served in all more than two years. I am very respectfully Your ob d Serv t
