Salisbury August 8th 1832. N. Hampshire

Jonathan L. Edwards Esquire,

Sir.
Inclosed is [illegible]
my pension certificate under the act of
10th March 1818 which states that I was
a private in the Army of the Revolution-
The fact is that I was a Sergeant for a
large portion of the time I was in the Army
of the Revolution, which was more than four 
years and ^ my original discharge, which was
forwarded to the War department, with my
other papers, to obtain the inclosed certificate,
states that I was a Sergeant, and was discharged -
as such
My wish now is to be placed on the
pension list as a Sergeant [underlined] under the late act of Congress of June 7th 1832-
If my former declaration and evidence, including my original discharge, (which will be
found in your office) together with the inclosed
affidavits of Alvin T. Sweatt and John
Durgin, should be sufficient to satisfy you
that I was a Sergeant, am entitled to be placed
on the pension roll as such, please forward my
Page 17

certificate by mail to Israel W. Kelly Esquire,
of Salisbury N. H.
If any other or further evidence is necessary you are also desired to inform me, how much
& what kind, by letter addressed to said Kelly
In addition to the foregoing I inclose my own
declaration, under oath -
Yours very respectfully -
