Dear Sir,
Of Ebenezer Currier, a Revolutionary soldier of Chester, N.H. was a pensioner, will you kindly send me a copy of his record of service? he was born about 1760, married Dolly Dresser and afterward married Nancy Blasdell. 
In the New Hampshire Rolls I find record of his enlistment in the Continental Army, May 4-1782 for three years or the war; also the enlistment
Page 48

[handwritten letter]
in 1776 of one Ebenezer Currier, "credited to Epping," but cannot tell whether or not it refers to the same person. 
Does the application for pension of Reuben Ricker of Dover, N.H. state the cause of his discharge in Nov. 1777? if not, shall I infer that it was by reason of the expiration of his second enlistment? 
Very respectfully,
/s/Charles Otis Currier
