should have course is me
but went to Budget &
Statistics.  Miss Coyne of
dist Div. called me, or rather
sent her request, see it attached
for me to give her all
the Rev. & 1812 data for her
report.  I called Chief
Clerk & he had the letter
sent to me.  However, Bud.
& Stat. had sent a letter
of acknowledgment to
Mr. Smith stating the
"information he desired
would be furnished, See
the letter attached, not
knowing whether we had
it or not. So I had to report
differently from what I ever
do, hence so many records.
Too bad it got in such a "mess".

Eli Hull was born at Kellingsworth Connecticut Mar, 20, 1764 and died at Keene, Essex Co. New York April 3, 828. He was married to Sally Beckwith in 1790 in Connecticut and she died at Keene Essex Co. New York in 1862. They moved to Keene New York in 1812. 
Eli Hull enlisted in Captain Steven Patton's Company in 1791 under Colonel Herman (Heman) Swift 2nd Regiment Connecticut Line.
     I am especially anxious to verify
