Sir:
The evidence of marriage and identity of the husband with the service claimed by Polly Camps as the widow of Isaac Learned, is not satisfactory.
If record evidence of marriage exists, it should be filed, if none such exists - then parol proof thereof is admissible.
The records of the Town of Charlton, Worcester Co., Mass. should be searched to see if any more than one Isaac Learned was a resident thereof, during the War of the Revolution, of sufficient age and ability to bear Arms. Isaac Learned, the applicant's former husband, must be clearly traced as a resident of Charlton aforesaid, during the war.

Polly Camp, formerly widow of Isaac Learned a Bombardier, in the revolution.
Act 3 d February 1853.
Application for an increase of pension.
Claimant is now in the receipt of a pension at the rate of $25.56. per ann. for the service of her husband Isaac Learned as follows, to wit,
For 4 months & 5 days, as a Private of Infantry $13.87 For 3 months and 7 days, as a Bombardier of Artillery 11.69  $25.56
The rate of pension under the act of 7 th June 1832, for a soldier, and under subsequent acts, for the widows, has always been com- -puted, for service in the Line, of the Infantry, Cavalry, & Artillery upon the basis of the rate of pay provided by the act of 27 th May 1778.
By that act, the rate of pay of a Bombardier was fixed at $9. per month - or $108. per ann.
It was provided by the act of 7 th June 1832, that if a soldier served a period of time amounting to two years, he should have a pension, at the rate of his full monthly pay in service - if less than two years, a pro rata pension.
A service for 24 months then, would give to a Bombardier,

a pension of $108. per ann: of one month, $4.50 per ann Mrs Learned's husband served, (as shown by the evidence on which the claim was allowed,) three months and seven days, as a Bombardier, and the pension for this service should be $14.55. per ann. instead of $11.69. the amount allowed. an increase of $2.86. per ann. making the pension $28.42. per ann. instead of $25.56.
Additional evidence.
The proof on which the pension was granted, as a Bombardier, was exhibited in a certificate from the Secretary of the State of Massachusetts, dated July 2 nd 1856. which showed that Isaac Learned, of Charlton, Mass. served 3. months & 7 days from Feb. 1. 6 May 8 th 1856 as a Bombardier in Col. Crafts Regt. Another certificate, dated September 30 th 1861. shows, in ad- -dition to the service above described, a service of one month to November 30 th 1856. of Isaac Learned of Charlton, Mass. in Col. Crafts Regt. of Artillery. as a Matrop. As this last item of service was performed by a man of the same name as the first. from the same town, in the same Regiment of Artillery, and only two months previously, it is not doubted that both services were rendered by the same individual, who was, in the first term a Matrop. and in the second, promoted to the grade of Bombardier - One month's service, as a Matrop by her husband, would entitle applicant to a pension of $4.16. per ann. as the pay of a matrop was $100. per ann. and for two years

service, would give a pension of $100. and for one month's service, a pension of $4.16. per ann. This sum added to the pension, (for service hereto- -fore admitted) of $28.42. makes the allowance to Mr Camp. at the rate of $32.58. per ann. Allowed , at the rate of $32.58. per ann. from 3 rd February 1853. deducting former payments at the rate of $25.56. per annum. for the same time -
