Sir
since the admission of your claim, it is
ascertained that the service in Drakes regiment
in 76 was so instead of 5 months instead of 6 as alleged by and
allowed to you
The other term of 2 months under Captain Shipman in Colonel Cooks regiment is not sustained by the best evidence as required by the regulations. This is the certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut.
your pension is therefore suspended and the
turn of your certificate required. If the Connecticut
service shall be duly established, a new certificate
22 33/100 will be issued to you
