Sir

The papers in support of the claim of Jeduthan Withy have been again examined, and placed on our files.
At the times during which  he alleges he performed service he could have been only 11, 12, and 14 years old.  At that tender age, it is impossible that he could have been subject to military duties, and penalties.  His claim is therefore rejected.

Will you be kind enough to advise if Jeduthan Withey (Wethey) appears upon your records of pensioners.  He secured a pension for service in Connecticut and New York and was popularly known as "Major" Withey and I am under the impression his service was in the war of 1812, with Great Britain.  Died 1845 at Canton Township, Pennsylvania, probably, Bradford County.  Perhaps his service was in the war of the Revolution but your records will probably verify which war it was.  Enclosed return envelope (ret. Jun 14) for you convenience.

Sincerely thanking you, I am
Very sincerely,
L. P. Harrington
