John Imeson an old Soldier to
whom I gave a certificate last Summer informs me that the same is lost or mislaid
I believe he is one of those for whom you applied to me as Auditor to give information
from the Records and the certificate sent on
was taken from the Musters of Maryland
Troops and by an extract now before taken
therefrom it appears that said Imeson a
Sergeant in the 3d Regt Enlisted on the
14 May 1779 and was discharged on the
on the 1st Novr 1780. He is now feeble, old &
blind 
 and needs the assistance of his country for support.
