Sir
I have to call your attention to the application of Isabella Mayfield for an increase of Pension which I forwarded to you on the 6 th August -
I hoped to hear from it very early as it is one of a class of cases the examination of which I presume requires but very little time and by much delay she is subjected to the inconvenience of a postponement of the receipt of the Pension she draws under the act of Feb. 1848 her Certificate of which necessarily accompanied her application to Washington -
You will greatly oblige me by causing the same to be examined as speedily as possible -
I am with great respect

Sir,
The papers in the case of Isabele Marsefield, claiming a pension under the act of July 7. 1838, and 23 d August 1842, have been examined and placed upon file. The proofs of marriage and identity are satisfactory. At the time when the claim of William Marsefield was admitted there were no rolls at command whereby to test the service, and, therefore, parole evidence was received. There are at present rolls in the possession of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts which furnish the best evidence of service, and the certificate of that officer is required showing the time for which service was rendered. In his declaration William Marsefield states that he entered the service on the first of May 1779, at Falmouth, in a Militia Company commanded by Captain Peter Warren, and served three months; also that he served soon after two months, in Captain McLean's Company, and that in 1780 he served eight months in Captain Prid's Company of Militia.
