Dear Sir
I inclose you the Declaration of an old Revolutionary solder to obtain a pension which I imagine to be in due form provided his name can be found on the pension list. He is just a character as to receive relief if he performed the services of which he speaks and of their performance I have but little doubt
Your early attention to his claim will much oblige yours
Respectfully
J. C. Mitchell
