Sir

I have made all the enquiry & obtained all the information that I was able to in the Case of Widow Hannah Nudd.  Positive evidence of his Ticonderoga Services hitherto have not been able to obtain.  I expect that we made the mistake in placing Mr Nudd in Col Longs Regt  however as we cannot have accefs to the Rolls in your Department we must be content as you may forward a Pension Certificate for what Service you are satisfied with   Respectfully 

I wish to know if a Man Enlisted into the Service in the Rev War for Six months & Serviced a Considerable part of the time & his services then not being rendered he was hon discharged with the whole Company Can he obtain a Pension under the Law of 1832 or any other Pension Law
With due Respect I am
