Sir - I am still afraid that the certificate that I signed for Consider Tripp is not altogether right, and being anxious to have the business done correct, I would thank you to be pretty particular about the dates, I being old, I have to depend on what was read to me, and as as near as I can recollect, it was read from Nov. to Nov. without any reference to the days of the month, and there being an erasure on the certificate which I signed, which makes me feel suspicious that there is something wrong if I recollect it was wrote December instead of November, which would make it half a month more than we enlisted for. I would thank you to be very particular to see that the certificate says he was discharged on the 2 d day of November 1796. If Mr. Correll has not got the Certificate, you will please to call at the Secretary's Office. Your particular attention to the above, will much oblige you Obt. Servt. Samuel Hick

Warren, Feb. 7 th 1821.
Hon. Samuel Eddy,
Sir - A few weeks since I was called upon by Benjamin Gowell Esquire, to sign a Certificate of the time that Consider Tripp served in the United States' service he being a candidate for a Pension. Being advanced in years and my eye-sight being poor I requested one of my friends to read it to me before I signed it - but since that time I have been reflecting on it and fear there is a mistake in the statement of about fourteen days. - Mr. Tripp served, as near as I can determine from the 15 th day of November 1775, to the 2 nd day of November 1776. the year following. - You will therefore have the goodness to examine that certificate and if it proves to be stated from November to November of the aforesaid years, without reference to the days of the month, to have it altered by inserting the days of the month as above stated.
With respect, your obed. Serv t
Samuel Flick
