He recollects that during his term of service they were in the following places in their marches - Philada [Philadelphia] to Trenton from Trenton to Easton from Easton to Brunswick - thence to Elizabethtown and he well remembers that while they were at Elizabethtown than a number of soldiers died in consequence of eating lime mixed with their flour.

That he was in said service three years, was in the battle of Brandywine and assisted in taking some prisoners at Trenton. He was discharged at Philadelphia by Captn Valentine Creager, he cannot find his discharge, his brother having had

Dear Sir
The pension granted my father was $20 per annum for 6 mos [months] services He contended he ought to have been allowed for 3 yrs & 6 mos and my application was for the difference between $20 & 96. I have sent on at different times affidavits to establish the 3 yrs services but have heretofore been told the proof was not quite sufficient. We have thought differently, and my great desire was for you to examine these proofs which are filed in the pension office, see what weight they carry with them & enforce them upon the Commissioner, I think a fair examination & consideration of them would lead to a favorable result. If you can possibly find time I would like you to give this case this examination. You will confer a great favor by
doing so.
Respectfully yours
