Dear Sir
My father Elijah Flagg was a Revolutionary soldier & served about 3 1/2 years & afterwards drew a pension for a portion of his service until his death which took place about 1843 or 1844.  He drew only $48.00 or thereabouts & resided in Massena, St. Lau. Co. N. Y. during the time he drew his pension & up to his death & was a pensioner at the Albany agency N. Y.  His certificate for pension has been returned to the Pension Department.  I am his only child & heir at law & I understand
that there are arrears of pension due to Elijah Flagg for his said services.
Page 4

and if there is I wish to apply for it & obtain it.  I am old & blind, fought myself at Fort George and on Lake Erie with Perry & my blindness was caused by my services in this battle.
Will you examine & see if there is no more service of Elijah Flagg or any arrears to which I as his heir & son would be lawfully entitled?
Address David Flagg, Massena St. Law. Co. N. Y
Yours truly
