We marched from this place across James river to old James town he thinks and so on to a place called the Great Bridge - Here the enemy had a fort erected which was surrounded by a marsh. there was a cause way leading to it at the end of the causeway we had a small breast works.  [marked out: The Cap't] we were attacked by the enemy in this position by a company of British Grenadiers [marked out: led on by a]  I remember their Captain's name was Forsyth.

Flemington 9th June 1837 Hon. J. L. Edwards:  Dr. Sir; I have been requested to forward again to the Department, the papers enclosed, relating to the claim of the widow Hoagland for a pension under the late act of Congress.  It is the same case that was left in charge of Gen. Wall. N. S.  Senator from N. J. some time ago- but there was some objection then that the time of the marriage was not specified- There is no question about the old lady's right to it & I doubt not, that upon examination of the papers you will be of that opinion--with profound respect-- yr. obt. & Hbl. Svt W. H. Sloan P. S. If the claim is allowed please forward the certificate to me-- W. H. S.
