Hon. J. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions
Sir.
I had the honor some time since to receive your letter of May 1 st on Mrs. Catharine Quick's case, in which you state that all the service claimed which can be allowed upon the proof on file - provided the claim in other respects can be made out, is six months . This statement has much surprised the Agent of the Claimant in as much as others (as he says) who performed like services under Capt. Faulkner & others have been allowed for eight months . And further - that you have been furnished in this case with an Affidavit of a living witness who served with George Quick the whole eight months . This witness - Mr. Crowell - is now living - is a wealthy farmer and bears an irreproachable character - whose statements under Oath would seem to be entitled to full credit & belief.
I herewith send a Certificate, which will satisfactorily prove the Marriage & which should have been sent sent May 9 th with other papers but was overlooked by the Clerk of Orange County.
Very Respectfully Your obed. Servt. Nathl. Jones
