J.L. Edwards Esquire, 
                    Sir,

                        In 1832 October 2. I sent to the Department, among other applications that of David Gilson. the papers are lost, or mislaid, and I have preformed a new declaration for the same services, which I enclose. The two papers called passes,  mentioned in the present declaration,were  by me {illegible}  to the first application. They were unquestionably, original papers.
                       I lately wrote you and requested that the rolls of Col. Cilley's Regt might be examined to ascertain the length of time Gilson 
served. The answer is that his name is not to be found on the rolls of that Regt. - The error was probably in my not giving you the {illegible} information. I am now led to believe that the service will be found on the New Hampshire Rolls., though performed in a Continental Regt. Such a roll has been found.    

             Your Obd. Svt. 
               Edmund Parker

* The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800" which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of 
September 16,1776, and subsequent dates. Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November
9, 1800. Information concerning warrants surrendered to the Federal Government is to be found in General Land Office Records in The national Archives.
