Dear Sir.
Aug 12 I enquired as to the War record of Ludwig Dorman who served as a private in the Company of Capt. George Calhoun in the tenth Pennsylvania Regiment Continental [illegible] organized in 1776.  Ludwig Dorman was placed on pension roll about 1819.
Would also appreciate the war record of Jacob Fries who was enrolled as a private in Captain Mathew Colgates Co-2nd Battalion Philadelphia Militia roll of November 20-1778 and again listed in the 6th class of seventh Battalion, Philadelphia county Militia Capt Daniel Beck, Lieut Col Mathew Colgate- 1781  This information secured by Mr. Warrren Ely a Genealogist of Doylestown Pa, who was employed to trace this Dorman and Fries families. 
If you will state the cost of this search I will gladly send check covering the amount. What I would like in particular is names of parents, his age, and from what city or town he enlisted and any other information concerning their War Record.
Very Truly
