never attached ___as to his first declaration Judge Eaton now says that Mr Titus has from the first always stated that his service for the most part  was alternate service, and that it was through his Judge Eatons carelessness that it was not so stated in the first declaration___as to the Second declaration Mr Titus says that he did not understand it to have contained what it does ____ The cause of the variance from the facts appears to me to be that Mr Titus first enlisted into a Company in which____Allen was Lieutenant which service as in State troops for only three months and for some cause the regiment was disbanded and the soldiers turned over to the Militia when Allen was appointed Capt___All the facts in relation to said service appear in the declaration which was sent in October likewise explanations &c

One thing will be remembered that Titus has not varied in stating that he served Twenty months and received pay and rations accordingly__ I hope the papers sent in October may be found as they were obtained at an expense to the applicant of Fifteen Dollars and upward___
