Townstown, Nov. 10th, 1845.
Sir,
Yours of the 6th inst. acknowledging receipt, referring to the pension case of a Mrs. Cecil Cole, is received. The letter is a forgery. I have never written a word in the case. You ask me to put the allusion to fraud in the letter in form to be used judicially . I would do most cheerfully, if I knew anything of the kind in the case; or any other pension case, as much fraud has been practiced on the government.
I am most respectfully,
Yours,
Col. J. L. Edwards, N. H. Wall, Washington D. C.

Dear Sir
Butt County Nov. 2 1845
I have been creditably informed there was some time since application made to your Department for a Pension for the Revolutionary services of a Lieutenant Abraham Cole. set by his represented widow. — Now this man was not her husband. but her husband's Father who was named after him, and went by the name of Abraham Cole Jr. This informa- tion came from one amongst the most respect- able old residents in this County who knew & was intimate with both the Father & son & now his son's widow I send this information in justice to my Country
Yours Respectfully N. H. W.
