Sir Enclosed
I send you the Certificate of the Town Clerk of Goshen of the marriage of My Mother Naomi Bunnell with my father Enos Bunnell who is dead & who received a pension under the act of 1832. My object in sending the Certif- icate and writing is to ascertain whether any of the time allowed by the Dept. to my father on his application was after their marriage — If you will give an answer as soon as convenient

it will much oblige me and the old lady — My mother says that he did serve after she married him, but whether he had any of the time of service after marriage allowed him she does not know —

Col. L. Edward Esq. Com of Pensions
Sir
I understand that an application has been forwarded by Mr. Wm Bunnell, through Joel Hinman Esq. of Waterbury Ct, for a pension for Naomi Bunnell, widow of Amos Bunnell, for whom I forwarded an application, first under the act of 1836, and again under the act of 1838. The papers forwarded by me were executed, and the evidence procured at the request of another son of Mrs. Bunnell Capt. Wareham Bunnell of this City. Capt. W. Bunnell did not know that his brother had taken any steps to procure the papers and I don't know that his brother knew that he had.
I write now for two purposes. First to explain to the department the circumstance of there being two applications - why it was so - and secondly, to say, that as Mr Wm.

Bunnell has failed in business, his brother feels, that there might be some danger of his getting the money into his own hands, and the old lady not get the benefit of it, as she is now very weak and infirm and very easily worked upon - I think the old lady herself should have the money for her own benefit and at her own dis- posal - I would therefore suggest to you, the propriety of forwarding the pension Certificate to Wm H. Ellis Esq Collector of this port or Wm H. Jones Esq P. M. persons whom you know and who will see justice done
Yours with Respect
