Subject: Pension claim of John More for Revolutionary Service. 
Gentlemen:- 
On behalf of the above named association, I write to ask if you have any record of a claim for pension having been filed by John More of Moresville, N. Y. for service in the Revolution. If such a claim was filed it was probably in the year 1834 or shortly afterward. He died in 1840, aged 95 years and some recently discovered letters of his show his intentions of filing his claim. His service in the Militia of New York is substantiated by records of the state but the correspondance above referred to indicates that during 1780 and 1781 he was engaged in supplying the garrison at West Point with supplies and provisions by means of a sloop on the Hudson. It is this service which we wish to authenticate. 
Very respectfully
