The Commissioner of Pensions
Sir
I would respectfully enquire
if the records in your office show the
length of service in the Revolutionary War
, & in what Regt of Daniel Blaisdell
(or Blasdell ) presumably of Hopkinton, New
Hampshire.
I can only find that he served some
six months, in Col Long's Regt.  But have
been told that he served much longer.
If such was the case no doubt the records
in your Office will show it,
Very respectfully
Alfred O. Blaisdell
