Epping September 13th 1832-
To J.L. Edwards
Gentleman
Sir
I herewith forward to you the application of John Bartlett for a Pension; you will perceive  by the dates that his application was completed before he obtained the deposition of Samuel Gilman for four months.  It seems to be that Williams Regiment belonged to the Massachusetts line not to the continental establishment Gilman states he served to his knowledge four months that was all Gilmans term of service and he left him in the service it was his impression he remained but to that  point to a certainly he did not know so it was struck from his deposition as you will perceive. 
I have also forwarded the certificate of an officiating Clergyman and his only neighbor in his immediate vicinity of age to know according to the instructions
He will doubtless be found on the Records of the State troops of this state for one year and four months and five months in Willard's Regiment Massachusetts line please to forward a Pension for as long a period of time as his case will allow If it does not amount to the full period set forth as to those applications I have some time since forwarded to you being Seven in number have the goodness to forward as soon as you can conveniently [illegible] relating to them you will find in my communication to you with them enclosed.
I remain yours Respectfully
