Dear Sir
I rec d yours of Jan y 17 th stating that further proof of the marriage of Mr & Rachael Wall, & also of the description of Asher Cox was required, I presume the enclosed deposition will be satisfactory for the services of Asher Cox, I have written to the Comptroller & he says he has examined the Books & the free remaining pay rolls in the Office without success - but if I will give him the Captain's name he claims to be with the Board of Service & if he finds on the Books that the Captain's services correspond with his description of proof he will give a Certificate to that fact, & certifying that no pay roll can be found & now as the Captain's name cannot be ascertained, I can send no further proof than the enclosed Certificate which I hope will give the poor Widows her Pension, Mr d Edwards says in his Letter to you that the proof of the marriage of Mr & Rachael Wall should be established by the record proof which the registars of Marriages & births so generally kept & preserved by towns. Churches & families - You will see by the enclosed Certificate that no such record was kept in Durham at the time of Mr & Wall's marriage, I hope & trust that the proof already sent will be sufficient for her husband's service about thro' the whole of the Revolutionary War & she is poor enough, I should have written to Mr d Edwards & not trouble you again on this subject, if you had not freely offered to attend to it, - If you will call on Mr d E & do what you can to effect that object it will be doing a great favor to these poor Widows, whose claims I believe are as just as any who get a Pension, I have no personal interest in this business, but I do hope for the sake of these poor Widows that their Applications may not fail - Please request Mr d Edwards to send me an answer in due time Yrs truly D.

Sir I find by your letter to the Hon ble Sam l Ingham M c , that the documents forwarded to obtain a Pension for the Widow of Asahel Coe of Durham was satisfactory as to her marriage but deficient respecting his services as the proof of the Officers under whom he served was not sufficiently explicit, particularly the Captain you will see by referring to the deposition of Reuben Camp that he states that
x Capt d not recollection    James Wadsworth  was General    James Arnold  " Colonel    Porter  " Major    Nathan Hine  " Lieut    & Charles Morton  " Ensign  
And by the Certificate now enclosed from the Sec y of State
  That William Douglass  was Colonel    James Arnold  " Lieut Colonel    Phinehas Porter  " Major    Nathaniel Johnson  " Captain    Nathan Parsons  " Lieut    Amasa (not Reuben) Hine  2 d Lieut    & Charles Morton  Ensign  
And the enclosed Certificate from the Comptroller will show that the settlement with Captain Johnson no further proof of the services of Mr. Coe can be obtained and I trust & hope that the whole certificate with those now in your possession will be entirely satisfactory
