Yours of the 19th of November came duly to hand and I immediately wrote to the Comptroller at Hartford Ct and Rec'd the enclosed answer.  I am inclined to belive that the widow Fanny Flinn must be mistaken in this service but she still says that he always said he was in the army of the Revolution between two and three years but she cannot say when or what officers he served underand therefore she must take her certificate for the service in Capt Dixon's Company as sargent reserving the right if she can prove any more service to have ner pension increased.  I also enclose the bible leaf proving the marriage and hope soon to have a return.
