Sir
Your communication of the 13th instant came to hand this morning.  I do not find the name of Isaac Hicks on the musterrolls in this office
There are no roles of the Light-horse companies of the Continental line of this state deposited here.
A warrant for 228 acres of land issued to Isaac Hicks for his services as a private soldier in the revolution, the quantity allowed by this state for two and a half years service.  This warrant he attained on the 14th Dec 1796 on the Certificate of a Field officer.  The records of my office afford no other or further information on the subject.
Very respectfully 
Your most Obt. St (obedient servant)

I have rec'd the enclosed papers from Isaac Hicks, about whom I wrote you & whose letter I sent you. At the date of his letter he had made the [illegible] declaration, & he believed it had been sent to me. But I did not know it was made, not having rec'd it at the date of my note to you.

The two lots of Land in Early [illegible -crossed out-] contain 405 acres of miserable poor pine barren soil for which I would not give 6 1/4 cents. The price at which he has offered them ($30) is not [ ] & [ ] to the fees for surveying & granting.
Please return me the dis Rgt letter. I know him this [illegible].
Respectfully yours
