Dear Sir
In these days when so much interest is taken in
Revolutionary ancestry I write to get some data for your records of my grandfather Stephen Fogg- In 1775 at Exeter New Hampshire he enlisted in the Continental army under Col or Captain McClary and was at the battle of Bunker Hill but I think was too young to take an active part probably not being quite 16 years old-
He drew a pension for many years and died
about 1842 at Meredith New Hampshire
any thing concerning him from your records
will be especially interesting to me at this time
and will be duly appreciated - I have the
honor of being President of the Missouri Society of the sons of the American Revolution and take pleasure in referring you to Hon John W Noble Secretary of the Interior
I am Very Respectfully Yours

N.
