[should] be submitted to Geo. G. Brewer [illegible] Regr. at Annapolis with the request that he would examine it & certify all the evidence which his records afford that confirms or discredits [underlined]each term claimed for _ The testimony of such of his comrades as are still alive in Md. should be taken.

Sir
I ask leave very respectfully to request your early & favorable consideration of the enclosed application & documents - I send also the letter to me of Mr. Deming from whom I received the documents. I have been personally & intimately acquainted with that Gen'n [Gentleman] for some thirty years & it gives me pleasure to say of him that he is a Gen'n of most respectable talents & of the most pure & unquestioned integrity. - I say this, lest it should be thought that there might be any thing disingenuous in the statement of facts which constituted the ground of the application _ He is a man [underlined]incapable of [underlined]giving a [underlined] false colouring to [underlined]any statement whatsoever.

Be pleased to advise me of the result of your examination of the matter, & unless you should desire to retain the letter of Mr. Deming for any purpose, be pleased also then to return it to me.

With much respect
Yr obed servt -
