To the honorable William L Marcy Secretary of War
Dear Sir presuming on your kindness to befriend. A few of your fellow beings who Are need there is due to the heirs of Augustus Levake something for the afore said Augustus Levake services as A Revolutionary soldier or pensioner he served his country throughout the revolutionary war and was wounded in the service of his country he also sent three of his sons to their countrys [country's] aid in the last war with greate brittan [Great Britain] they all held commissions or appointments one in the Southern and two in the northern army under Maj General Scott their names was John and Thomas and Augustus Levake the latter lost his life in the service of his country Thomas lost his health in being exposed at Sacketts harbour being obliged to lay out in the open air through the night he never has been really well since and now one of his sons in law has lost his life before the city of Monterey his name was Maj. W Lear perhaps you will ask why I give you such A history of Augustus Levake and his sons and son in law I will simply say that it is to show that he and his three sons served this country about 15 years for bearly [barely] A liveing [living] and that A poor one and in the last war with greate brittan [Great Britain] the above named Augustus Levake lost what little property he had  in consequence
Page 6

of his sending his sons into the army and depriveing [depriving] himself of their services in cultivating his land he not being able to labour [labor] in consiquence [consequence] of the wound he received in the revolutionary army he also quartered the army that went down to burlington to take part in the memorable battle of plattsburgh that division of the army that passed throug [through] vermont to burlington and back east again quartered on his fields and whatever the farm produced was at their disposal almost if not quite free of charge in consiquence [consequence] he became embarrassed and lost all he had perhaps you are ready to say why did he not look out for himself I will just say there was no self will about him he entered into his countrys [country's] cause soul body and property and all nor I dont [don't] know that he ever regretted the step he took though by the means he became very poor I have given you this part of his and his sons [sons'] history for the purpose of showing you that his sons are worthy and deserving of the pension that is due for their fathers services and to prove it legaly [legally] I have presumed on your kindness and simpathy [sympathy] in furnishing me with whatever evidence there may be in the war department at washington of his serving his country twice he applied for his pension without success the first was when the law would not allow A man holding property to draw A pension the second time he had no property got all his papers correct but before he could obtain the pension he died leaving A widow who lived about 12 years after
Page 7

and now that the law is such that the heirs are entitled to pensions that was due to their fathers who did not receive the same for their service before their deaths ths is the case with Augustus Levake he was entitled to A pension and did not receive it therefore by the request of my father and the advice of Judge A Bull of Troy I send this in the hopes you will be friend me so much as to send me all the evidence if any there is to show that he was entitled to A pension and I would have to say I would if I had any thing [anything] to send it to you for the trouble you may be at in furnishing me with what I have asked or require but you shall have the greateful [grateful] thanks and warmest wishes of your obiedient [obedient] servt [servant]

PS please attend to it as soon as convenient for we are needy I know not what became of the last papers he had made out but it was in the year 1822 or 3 I think they were sent to washington

Dear Sir: - 
The Marquis de La Fayette, as I understand, came to America during the Revolution bringing with him eleven chosen companions as his "staff" or suite. I have reason to believe that my great grandfather was one of the eleven and would like to verify my belief if possible. Have you a record of this element names? If you
Page 20

have not such record is there any place of which you know that would have such record? 
My great grandfather's name was Augustus LeVake (anglicized) spelled originally De L'Evaque. His picture, I was told was in the French building at [caret] the Chicago World's Fair. 
I shall be very grateful for any information which you can furnish.
