J. L. Edwards Esq. Sir
I herewith enclose additional evidence in the case of Anna Reynolds of Greenfield, Saratoga County, ————— It appears that her late husband Isaac Reynolds was a pensioner, and that an attempt has been made to establish the marriage & thereby bring her case under the Pension Act of July 7 th 1838, and that the proof of the time of the marriage has heretofore been insufficient, but I trust that the obstacles are now satisfactorily removed, at least as far so (in my opinion) as they can be & the best evidence that can be procured herewith forwarded
I have no definite knowledge of what has heretofore been done in the pension, as no copy of the documents forwarded has been kept. Should the Department find the evidence to conflict with what has heretofore been forwarded, they will undoubtedly dispose of the case accordingly, but if no material inconsistency should appear, I am satisfied what will be the result, ————— I have endeavoured to prove the truth & nothing but the truth in the case, & I verily believe it to be established the truth within the limits of the Law, I am satisfied is all that is required by the Dept! It will readily appear be readily noticed by the enclosed depositions that the two witnesses relative to the time of the marriage do not precisely agree, one being a Year over, & the other a Year under the time, but it then appears as it flowed voluntarily from their own lips, & which time named being so far within the Year 1794 or limits of the Law, and probably as near as nine out of ten can come, without

reference to records, I think the Dept will find no equitable objections, shall in conclusion forward a certificate under the aforesaid Act viz July 7 th 1838
