Sir
I herewith forward sworn certificate of marriage in the application of Widow Amos Clark for pension according to instructions.
I have just received your line with papers in case of Widow Amos Clark returned for authentication of record. To be evidence in our State courts the copy of Town record is sufficiently authenticated as I forwarded it being attested by the Town Clerk who keeps the records. He of course has no seal. And no other Officer has any such authority or control over the town records as to certify to the fact of the Town Clerk being duly elected & sworn, he being the only certifying Officer as to his own records as well the record of his own election & qualification as of records of other transactions. I can however have the Town Clerk go before a magistrate and make oath to his record & forward you a certificate of such oath from the magistrate.
Yours Obediently

Herewith I send the application of Sarah Clark for a pension. Her husband Amos Clark was a pensioner under the act of 1818 and was cut off because he wasn't poor enough to be a pensioner. The applicant if a pension be granted to her wishes to be placed on the roll of the New York Agency. The reason that the application is made in Stamford is that applicant has relatives living here and she is spending the summer with them.
Respectfully Yours
