Dear Sir - in addition to the proof already forwarded I now enclose Deputed Hoare's Affidavit, relating to the application of Mary Hoare for a Pension. Mrs. Hoare, has used her best endeavours to find some Proof of her Father & Mother's Marriage, agreeable to the request of your Letter of July 13 th 1839 - but has not been able - you state some objections relating to the statement "about 1784" as to the Marriage - if I recollect the Testimony is, that they were Married in that year at any rate - which is, or ought to be satisfactory, that they were Married before 1794 - but, you will see by this Affidavit, that they had a Child before 1794 - and I presume as old & debilitated, as she is, cannot recollect the day, Months & Year, especially, when things would neither Read or Write - yours with sentiments of respect D.
