Dear Sir

Mr. Lemuel Wright who has heretofore made application to have his name placed on the pension roll, has applied to me requesting me to write upon the subject - he shows me two letters from you to J F Redfield of Derby, VT in which you call him Samuel instead of Lemuel - his name is Lemuel - & I have no doubt the old gentleman served in the Revolutionary war - his brother Benjamin Wright who was his witness is a very respectable  man & is entitled to all credit, making suitable allowance for hi age & infirmities - Mr. Wright thinks his name is on the rolls at Washington and is apprehensive that when his claim was examined, he was called Lam'l & of course that name searches for on the rolls.

Will you have the goodness to inform if the name of Lemuel Wright is to be found in the roll - he says he enlisted for 8 mo. in 1775 under Capt. Whitcomb, Col Reed - afterwards left Col Reed & went into Capt.

Mans, Company, Col Stark's Regt & both he & his brother insist that there was a capt. Mann in Cl Stark's Regt as well as in Col Reids.

I am Sir
Very respectfully
Sam'l B Mattock
