Sir
In answer to your letter dated March 26th 1831 In regard to my claims which were returned as
defective (except the claim of Sergeant Wm Lee). I have only to say at present that I have only seen the aforesaid Wm Lee and the heirs of Elihu Hancock since the above date, In regard to the claim of Serg Wm Lee of Lyme I have to say that it was a mistake or oversight in sending on his papers without a power of substitution from Mr. Wakeley, his power of substitution I now enclose
It was stated in the sd Wm Lee affidavit that he he served in and was was discharged from the U.S. Regmt of Artificers under the command of Col. Crane, when he was giving in his affidavit be said he was discharged from the company of Artificers commanded by Capt. Patten. He was then asked what Col. he was under at the close of the War he said he worked for Col. Crane, and
that the company to which he belonged were employed by Col. Crane from this statement it was understood that he was employed by and served under Col. Crane - as there was no other col of whom he could give any account of serving under - he now states the same and say that he enlisted under Capt. Gamaliel Painter and was discharged from a company commanded by Capt. Patten - he further states, and shows an order from General B. Lincoln dated the 7th of June 1783 for 12 dollars per month. He further states, that his discharge is now at the War Department in the County Land office dated the 9th of June 1783 he was discharged as U.S. [illegible] at West Point - and further he draws a pension and is payed at Hartford Connecticut.  His first certificate from the war department
Signed by J. C. Calhoun is dated the 2nd day of June 1818. He received another certificate

In relation to the heirs of Elihu Hancock I have to inform you that I have seen them and
have taken the Deposition of Elihu Hancock son and heir at Law of Elihu Hancock deceased who was a solder for the army of the Revolution and was discharged from Col. Meigs. Regiment of the Connecticut line = there are at present only 3 legal heirs of Elihu Hancock deceased. their names are as follows Deborah Hancock a daughter of the old soldier and 2 sons Edward and Elihu as stated in his deposition dated June 18th before Henry M. Wait Esq. --- and farther I have to state that Judge Loomis of the District of Lyme informed me that he never used a seal in signing his name as Judge of Probate. He therefore he with his pen the words "and seal of office", contained in the form which I had written before I was aware of the fact above stated. I therefore again forward to you the claims of Wm Lee and the heirs of Elihu Hancock with their earnest solicitation for a reexamination
Please to forward returns to Hartford Conn
