Sir
My absence from home has prevented answering yours of the 16 th inst. until now. I have carefully examined the Marriage register in my Office and find no marriage returned of any person named Taulin or Tumblin from the year 1782, the commencement of the register, to the year 1795. I found you the above certificate because I thought the department required it before taking other evidence of the marriage. You do not mention the maiden name of Mrs. Taulin but it is immaterial for the cause mentioned above.
I am really yours obedt Servt
