Conforming to a request made from the Treasury Department, I have to state, that all my letters from C.K. Averill, Esg. of Rouses's point N. York, relative to the claim paid to me as agent, on account of the services of a certain Joseph Labe, which have been exhibited, as well as my answers hereto at the Treasury, designate him distinctly by that name, except that of the 13th December, 1828, which refers to him as "Labo". That more of the difficulty which foreigners must experience in spelling French names from hearing them spoken (especially by illiterate men) of which the rolls of Aromand's Corps, and those of the Massachusetts line, in particular, furnish many striking instances, I did not doubt, altho' some of the documentary evidence used the word "Labo", differing but in the formation of one letter, that Joseph Labe was the person who served, and the identical person claiming; and in this, I was confirmed by the fact of his having enlisted in Livingston's regiment, and being discharged (reference having been had to his original discharge) from Hazen's regiment. About the 13th Sept. 1828, I ascertained from the journals of the old  Congress , that all "foreigners", were after the year 1780 attached to Hazen's regiment, which induced to the allowance of the claim, and to which fact, reference is made by the annexed Certificate of general Mooers, who was adjutant to that regiment, dated the 9th October, 1828, and which was obtained in fulfilment of my previous promise to the Treasury Dept. to make further enquiries in New York.
