Washington June 19, 1838 Hon. J. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions
Sir,
Enclosed are certain supplemental papers in relation to the application for a Pension of Widow Lydia Morrow for Revolutionary services rendered by her late husband. In addition to the reasonable presumption that no Records of Marriages were kept in, and near Superior Court House early as 1780 J. W. Martin's affidavit seems conclusive in establishing that fact. I know Mr. M. to be an intelligent and highly reputable person whose declarations are entitled to full credit.
Have the goodness Sir, to examine the case as early as the press of business in your branch of the Dept. may allow I remain Sir
Respectfully your Obt. Servt.
