Sir
At the request of Joseph Hibbard, a son of Mrs. Lydia Hibbard, I return to you, her pension papers. By the letter of the Commissioner, Mr. Edwards, two objections are suggested. 1 st That the declaration was not made before a Court of Record. Judge Hall has corrected the proceedings in this particular, by certifying that Mr. Hibbard " was sensible to attend  court ".
2 d "That there is no evidence that Capt. Dana was in service in 1781" I now send you the certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts , of this State, proving that Captain Dana was in service " from March 1781, to June 5, 1782 , thus covering the whole time stated in this declaration and proved by the witness, Samuel G. Adams. The proof is, that Joseph Hibbard husband of this claimant, entered the service in Capt. Dana's Comp y . April 1 st 1781, for 12 m .

The £2503..18..0 pays Capt. Dama; 60 l for the service from March 1781 to June 1782, one year and 3 or 4 m. I presume, that on the receipt of this evidence, you will find no further difficulty in the case.
