Dear Sir
I beg your patience [illegible] you read
another letter from your humble servant
You wrote to me that in my declaration
I Stated that I remained in Col. Dearborn's
Regiment untill [sic] June 1781 which if you
will take the pains to look again you 
will find that I stated that I remained 
in the United States Service untill [sic] June
1781, on of my witnesses stated that I 
served in the said regiment untill [sic] the
close of the war which appears to be 
an oversight in the judge he said that
I remained in the same regiment with 
him untill [sic] the close of the war which
was overlooked when the Judge came
to read the deposition
The other states that I was in the said
Company untill [sic] December 1783
is is true he and I were both in one Company
together we considered it to be the same
Company and the same Regiment but
commanded by different officers I think however
that my Declaration does not contain enough
& have made an additional declaration and
annexed to the old where you will find the different
officers that commanded us
Page 41

I hope sir you will consider the evidence
sufficient to prove minimum service
which is all that you required in your first returns
to me if not I must go to the State of New Hampshire
again which will be about five hundred
miles out and the same back and beg my way
on the road for I am a very poor man and a 
large and expensive family to support and liable
to become a town [illegible] except I obtain my pension
I beg sir that you would [illegible] me one more
and as quick as possible for our court of common
pleas sets the fourth Tuesday in June at [illegible]
I must give in my inventory in order to obtain my
Pension in September
I am sir your &c
Saml Fuller Jun.
