To all whom it may Concern
Be it known that I Abraham P. Lott of the City of New York was (in the Year 1775) appointed by Order of Congress, Col o of a Regiment of Foot in the service of the United States of America, and that M c Oliver — Waldron was then appointed Lieutenant and did serve under me as such — Given under my hand this 13 day of January 1791 —

Washington, Dec 31 st 1853
Sir:
Enclosed I have the honor to present the claim of one of the children of Oliver Waldron, dec d who in his life-time claimed a pension under Act of 1832, and whose claim was rejected.
If the rolls of Capt. Post's Company of Artificers confirm the facts set forth in the declaration, I think the claim must have been erroneously rejected. He states in his declaration that he enlisted in said company in May (the year not stated) and after having been in service three or four months, he became sick, and got permission to go home to his family. That while at his own home he was taken prisoner by the British, and remained

a prisoner till the close of the war. If he was absent on furlough when taken prisoner, I suppose he is to be considered as in service, and the time he was a prisoner should be computed. I suppose the rolls in your office will settle the facts in the case, and I respectfully ask that they may be examined.
I have the honor to be
Very respectfully,
