As I now send the declaration of Martha Bennet with the record testimony of the day & year of her marriage which exactly corresponds with her statement in her declaration the reason why this was not forwarded with her declaration at first appears from the affidavit enclosed -
The reason of having the affidavit taken before A H Conklin the sole Justice of the peace in the village is because Judge Rolph before whom Mrs Bennet made her declaration departed this life the 18 th inst
The certificate accompanying the affidavit of the official standing & hand writing of the said Justice for the absence of the clerk was made out by the deputy clerk whose official acts are of the same validity by law as those of the principal
my interference in this case is purely gratuitous in comparison to honest poverty & help less prompted by a perfect conviction of the legality of the claim which I now see no possible reason why any fair legal construction ought not to be allowed

Sir in making out the papers of Mrs Martha Bennet the certificate of the Judge in relation to the credibility of the witnesses to her marriage was inadvertently omitted. The Judge as soon as apprised of the fact immediately and cheerfully supplied the omission which I now enclose and request that you will have the goodness to annex to her papers. By an instruction of the Pension office received the 1 st instant by Mrs Bennet it seems that a letter from some disinterested person concurrent with her circumstances is required as a preliminary to the examination of her claim.
I would therefore state that I am well acquainted with Mrs Bennet - we were both born and have always lived in this Village that she lived with her son in law who was one of my tenants at the time of her husband's death and that she has lived about a mile from me ever since -
Mrs Bennet is of a good family her Father Jonathan Titus was a Captain during the whole of the revolutionary war and was in some Town office more or less of the time from that period to his death. Her grandfather bore a similar commission under the Colony government - Timothy Bennet was a soldier in Capt Titus company and married his daughter Martha soon after he left the army - they have since till his death lived together and reared a family Timothy Bennet was always poor, was a pensioner at the time of his death and Mrs Bennet still remains his widow. These facts are notorious

to every person of advanced years in the village of Huntington -
Indeed the claim of Miss Bennet is a fair one and without a shadow of suspicion
I beg leave further to state that Miss Bennet under all circumstances has sustained an unblemished reputation through life and that her integrity is without question That she is now very old somewhat infirm and very poor and that in my humble opinion humanity as well as justice requires that she should be admitted to the enjoy- ment of the gratuity provided for her by law as soon as the rules and customs of the office will admit
