Sir,
A short time ago, a communication from Washington was placed in my hands, (of Londonderry) which was directed to the heirs of Allen Anderson, a Revolutionary Pensioner stating that there were arrears due to said Anderson.  This is sent requesting information concerning the same.
The company in which he served was formed July 20, 1777 commanded by Capt. Daniel Reynolds.  He served nearly, if not quite, three years and was at the battle of Benington.   His pension received was for [illegible] per month. Said Anderson has been deceased for 13 yrs.  Did he receive the addition to his pension to which he was entitled by law? Or was he entitled to any? Your answer is requested to this as soon as convenient. 
Enoch :Pillsbury
for the heirs of said Anderson
P.S. He was a private in the service.
