James L. Edwards Esq Commissioner of Pensions
Sir, some time in the course of the last year there was granted at the War department to the heirs of Isaac Talbot late of Houghton in the County of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts due pay for 8 months service in the Revolutionary war in 1775 - the declaration declares that the said Isaac Talbot served eight months in 1775 as a Privile (in 1775) four months in 1776 as a Sergeant in the State of New York; if I mistake not, and why the said Isaac did not receive the four months was I presume that the War department was not satisfied of the Proof of service; the names of the heirs being the children of the deceased who are now living are Isaac Talbot of Houghton, Daniel Talbot of Winchester & Betsy Pope of Marlboro all of Massachusetts - all of which are in the papers in your possession - and as they failed & were not successful on account of Proof, for the 4 months in 1776. I have thought proper to take the papers from those old records certified & sworn to in order to satisfy the department that the said Isaac Talbot did serve as the statement was made at the time - I believe there can be no rolls of this service found & do they appear under those Captains for the 4 months as they stated if they stated any by what I have heretofore learned from the War dept - I believe you rules are not confined to any one particular mode of Proof, but if any thing can be shown to satisfy the department that the service was performed, they give out their pay - I hereby frankly submit the following as proof that the service was performed - which I believe is the truth - and on examination of the case, and you should be satisfied these heirs are entitled by Law & Justice to the further pay of 4 months I presume you will grant it them; when you shall decide of the papers here enclosed relative to their further pay of 4 months. Please transmit the same to Benjamin Richards of Randolph in the County of Norfolk & State of Massachusetts
Yours respectfully
Benjamin Richards
