Sir
I enclose to you four Declarations for Pensions. I hope that the accompanying proof will be sufficient to prove the Marriage of the applicants. I understand that in the case of Elizabeth (Mumford), there is a paper on file in the nature of an affidavit, procured from Dutch Co, New York, but is deficient in some respect or other, yet perhaps it will go to prove something necessary to be established, taken in connection with other proof. I have sent you a Copy of the Hamble Register of the births of the children, which will establish this fact that their first child was born about 16 years before the 1 st Jany 1794. In examining that Copy, you cannot but be convinced that she is entitled to a pension so far as the date of the marriage is concerned. Perhaps however that the paper on file may support the Copy. You have also therein enclosed the original Marriage Certificate of Catherine Barnes, this must be conclusive of the fact of her marriage. Mrs Polly Gaskins marriage is proved beyond a doubt by the affidavits of friends. I hope speedily to hear of a favorable decision from the Department on these papers. I am &c
Very Respectfully
J. L. Edwards Esq. April

Sir
Please examine the enclosed papers & if Mrs Hargrave shall be found entitled to the pension she claims, that you will please transmit through me the proper papers.
