Attention of Mr A.D. Hiller.

Dear Sir:

I thank you for the information sent me relative to the
above Samuel Cobb, Revolutionary War soldier.

In the last paragraph of your letter you state that the
rate of pension granted him was $23.33 per annum.  This seems such
a small sum that I cannot but wonder if there is not a mistake
somewhere and would ask that you kindly recheck the figure.

Your letter states that Samuel Cobb’s brother, Simeon,
served in the Revolutionary War and was living in St. Johnsbury,
Caledonia County, Vermont, in 1832.

Would you be so kind as to let me know if there is on
record any data in regard to him – in particular any information
as to the date of birth or parents – that thereby
there might be a clue as to the parentage of Samuel Cobb.

Any information would be most appreciated.

Yours very truly,
