Sir,
I send you the application of Coorod Jseley 
for a pension, it is probably that
he may be mistaken in stating that he was
Captain and regular commissioned, though there is no doubt but what he was at the head of a number of men, and he may have
hear commissioned captain, the old man is
any (illegible) as considerable in his datage,
I hope you will find his name on
the Roll, whatever facts you ascertain
please communicate, with the papers of
(illegible)
yours Respectfully
