My Dear Sir,
I enclose you, additional testimony in the case of Mrs M c Band. Here are witnesses of the highest character and sustain the character of the witness who testified to the date of the marriage.
The original witness was 9 years old at the time of the marriage and swears positively to it, and it is now proven, by gentlemen whom I know, that he is a man to be relied on.
This, I presume, places the fact beyond all controversy.
Respectfully,

Marthas Vineyard Dukes County N.Y. 18 th November 1845 Sir
I have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of Esther Johnson Certificate it was sent to me from Rabyk on the 12 th Inst. - It would seem to me that she is entitled to a larger amount from the amount of her husband's Certificate found on the Comptroller's Books - and I think it likely that if her husband had of been apprized of that evidence in his life time - his Declaration would however show whether he was allowed as much as he claimed - her claim has been surely scrutinized and as she has produced documentary evidence of a large amount more than there has been an allowance made she ought to be entitled to the arrearage - I sent on the claim of Sarah M c Bane some considerable time ago which was not allowed I examined further into it and after applying at the Secretary of State's office I found that she was mistaken in the date that met in the facts of the case having no documentary evidence she believing that her husband Daniel M c Bane was married to Charlston and that Charlston was taken on the Battle of Charlston was in 1776 she was under the impression that that was the date - When I discovered the mistake in the date I was laboring under severe indisposition and was confined for a considerable time as soon as I was able I informed her of her mistake and drew an amended Declaration and prepared her papers again and left them at the Clerk's office to have her Certificate amended in proper form and he promised to attend to them and forward them for me this he informs me he did - But I have not heard whether they ever reached the Department or what has become of them - I should be glad to know whether they come to hand and how they have been disposed - I have been in such a bad state of health for the last two years that I was not able to attend business as I wished - I am now able to attend to it and wish to know how the case stands
I am with high consideration
Honorable
Your obed Servt
