Sir
Capt George P Frost Frost the
gentleman referred to in the accompanying letters has engaged me to forward before you his claim for arrears of
pension pay which he alleges is due to him. He at first received a pension under the act of 1818 which gave him
only half pay $240 per annum. In 1828 he was transferred
from the pension Roll under that act to the roll under the
act of 1828 which gives back pay from 1826. He alleges in the letter of the 27th At that instead of full
pay for the 2 years from May 1826 to May 1828 he received
only half or $480 as he had received under the
act of 1818, whereas, he should have received full pay
from the time the act of 1828, commenced about two years
this act believe went back to March 1827. I respectfully
request that an examination may be had in this
matter and that the amount, about $500, which appears
to be his due, may be awarded to him.
with great respect

From: Colonel Ben H. Dorcy, Calvary, U.S. Army.
To: The Commissioner of Pensions
Subject: Revolutionary War Record, George P. Frost

1. I request that I be furnished with a transcript of the record of George P. Frost, reported as former pensioner of the Revolutionary War. The date is requested for purely personal reasons for genealogical use in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
2. Family tradition does not agree as to this soldier's rank in the Revolution. In one case it is alleged that he was a general officer and another that he held the rank of captain. The middle name is reported as "Pepperel".
3. Any further information which your records may disclose beyond the purely military record, such as date and place of birth and death will be appreciated.
