Washington July 11th / 56 
In the year A D 1834 One Lewis Piatt of [unredable] made application for a revolutionary pension under act of 1832. 
This claim has been suspended,  a several times owing to the different statements made of said file in his two application for a pension. In relation to his first application. We would say it was made out in the absence of Mr Piatt by his atty [attorney] which it explain himself in a letter written in August 8 1849, and addressed to the Secty of War. In which he states that the  application was made and in his absence, and he knew nothing of its contents until it was read to him & his atty in Court. At the time he mentioned to his atty, that he was not pleased with the application that it was insincere in a several particulars. It is very natural for most of persons, who have but little buisness before County to leave every thing to the [unreadable] of his atty.
