Dear S. P. Wells for my Pensions -
On the receipt of your late communication saying it was necessary to be more particular as to the time of Noah Bauley's death, I wrote to Worcester to ascertain the facts - The facts of the manner of his drawing his Pension are stated in the accompanying Deposition of Mr. Goodell - His name will be found on the Roll of Mass Pensioners - His widow here, where she resided her last residence, was at the time of his death, or appears by information obtained from the person in Worcester who usually paid his Pension - That Gentleman states further that the arrears of his Pension due at the time of his death were paid to his Children in Orange - He stated that his wife (meaning his first wife) died some 13 years before - If they state further that their father left no widow - it can only be justified on the ground that they never heard of it & he concealed from them his second marriage - which conclusion seems to me

to be more charitable than possible - If any further proof the second marriage & of Noah & Lucy Bird having lived together as man & wife for years the necessary it can be readily furnished - As they lived together both in New Hampshire & in Bethlehem -
Yours
