Dear Sir
Ss Clark Hyde did some years ago make application in your office of a pension for Service rendered as a soldier during the Revolutionary War At the time of the application he lived in the State of Vermont he now resides in the County of Renssellaer in the State of New York he is extremely poor & I think him justly entitled to a pension - I have now in my
possession a letter - Signed J. L. Edwards in your office - directed to Joel Pratt Esqr of Manchester Vermont in which he acknowledges Mr Hydes papers prove every thing necessary to intitle him to a pension - except he says- (stating the services) he says his 1st service under Col Webb was not nine months in continuance - His 2nd service from June 1776 & April 1777 was in Col Elmores Regiment & say there is no proof in your office that Col Elmore was on the Continental Establishment only during the year 1776 so that in that case from June till the ensuing January 1777 would not make nine months from which I included
Page 36

you will not required any further testimony except & then that John Elmore did continue in service after 1st Jany 1777 - I presume the reason why you have not the necessary evidence in your office to Shew his continuance in service is owing to the loss of papers at the time the office was burnt I have no dout but Col. Jn Elmore did continue in command untill April or May 1777 - which I think you will not doubt when you examine the Affidavits and papers which I here inclose to you
Please to examine the same as soon as you can make it convenient and inform me of your decision
You mentioned in your letter & Mr Pratt that you had retained Mr Hydes papers in file in your office -
