Montpelier Jany 10 1821.-
Dear Sir,
I intrust to your care the
papers of Stephen Hall for the purpose
of procuring for him a pension

His declaration was made March
27, 1818, & has been once forwarded but
was not found on the roll. The
reason I suspect was that about a year
after he enlisted he was transfered from
Capt. Cherry's Company to Capt. Potter's
in the same regt, which he omitted
to State in his declaration, but which I
have [illegible] on the declaration. He has
after much pains taken to procure testimony,
 been so fortunate as to find his
discharge which I suppose will be ample
testimony his discharge was found
among his brother's papers, this winter, who
resides in New hampshire
your attention with will oblige a
very poor, an honest old patriot of the
Revolution
most respectfully your humble sent
Joshua Y. Vail
