I did not mean to say the certificate was sent " - but that she was dissatisfied with the decision, and that I should soon send further testimony with certificate and request a reexamination. I accordingly by herewith send the testimony & certificate before named for the purpose of correction.  All the testimony goes to show that Waldo Enlisted for three years. Mr Fling testifies that he thinks that Waldo was one with others that was picked out of Durkee's Regiment to proceede [sic]  to the southern states at the time of Cornwallis' defeat. I flatter myself by a thorough examination., his service will fully appear and a certificate will be forwarded to Mrs. Waldo through me for a full pension

I, Clement Corbin of Charlestown in the County of Sullivan & State of New Hampshire aged 76 years, depose and say, that in March 1781 I joined the Army of the United States, in Wolcott's company in the first Connecticut Regiment commanded by Colonel Durkee.  At the same time Zachariah Waldo of Pomfret Conn. joined the same regiment but to what company he belonged, I am not positive, but I think to Captain Buel's.  The said Waldo served in the same regiment until November 1783 with the exception of perhaps six weeks, during which time he was absent on furlough on account of sickness.  I well knew said Waldo, and know that he did the above service, and I remember that he was discharged about the same time as myself, which was in November 1783. The above regiment was commanded also by Colonel Grosvenor, after Colonel Durkee had retired.  Said Waldo was one of those who were called "three year men", & served his time until the end of the war, and my acquaintance with him continued throughout that period.

I Abel Fling of Windsor in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont aged seventy five [last word inserted] years testify and say that at the time  of the Revolutionary War I lived in Pomfret in the State of Connecticut and was acquainted with Zachariah Waldo who resided  there in the same town and in December 1780 I enlisted as a private in the company of Capt Woolcutt in Col. Durkees Regiment, for the term of three years, for which service I now draw a pension, some time the first of March 1781 the said Waldo enlisted in what company I can not say, but joined said Durkees Regiment and I knew him in said Regiment for a long time & he might have been transferred to some other Regiments part of the time he was out, and I understand he enlisted for three years at that time, sometime in the year 1781 in the fall, there was some considerable number of men taken from our Regiment, and picked out to go to the southern states to fight Cornwallis and it appears to me that said Waldo was one that went, but I cannot say under what Captain he went, unless it was Capt Clough or Cleff [last two words inserted]; Col Hamlinton or Scammel was a colnel [sic] that went south. Col. Grosvenor Commanded Durkees Regiment part the time as Col Durkee feel from his horse & was killed before the close of the War.
