I herewith enclose a Certificate of the Marriage of Abigail Goodley with David Marshall (a one? Pensioner) in pursuance of your instructions by letter of the 5 th March 1839 to Hon. Arnold Plummer M.C. on the application of Abigail Marshall for pension under the Act granting half pay and Pensions to certain Widows, of the 7 th July 1838. which application you already had been examined & filed with suspended cases in your office - This Certificate has been obtained at considerable expense & trouble and we trust it will prove sufficient - With regard to the other matters mentioned as to service of her husband - the Applicant is not able to refer you to the name of any of the officers her husband served under except his Capt. at Bennington. Captain - This she believes was Capt. Ford - of this she is not certain in consequence of having no papers for reference - the same having all been either lost or sent to the Office on her husband's application for Pension

under act of 1888 it is believed - She does not know the names of any other officers -
I might even suggest her claim state the distinctive information of the applicants - but I am fully aware that these considerations cannot have force in your office - I am however that this applicant will have no further difficulty in obtaining her pension upon the strictest principles and rules -
I hope this matter will receive the most early attention - and answer be made either to me or Abigail Marshall the Applicant at this P. O.
I am Sincerely
Respectful
