Dear Sir

At the request of Mr. Johns, I have drawn up Maj Lingan's statement of his service in the revolution. I imagine it will be [illegible] but if the department requires further, I have no doubt it can be procured by writing to the Adj & Insp Gen of Maryland at Annapolis, which if you find necessary, you can do immediately - Be pleased to let me know of the fate of this application.

Yours
Respectfully
