Dear Sir
Enclosed is an advertisement made by Andrew Whipple of Covert in the County of Seneca in relation to the application of Amos Whipple who is applying for a pension. I understand he is applying by the name of Whipple but he is the same Amos Whipple who has heretofore been on the list of pensioners. We have thought proper to inform the proper authority that this claim is founded in the basest fraud & falsehood. I feel it a duty we owe to the public to expose the fraud. In case any thing more is wanting to establish the fact of fraud it can & shall be immediately furnished as there is abundant proof of the fraud. - In case the testimony is not sufficient please inform me how to proceed - and direct a letter to the Post office at our County of Seneca N.Y.

I Amos Whipple of Ithaca, in the County of Seneca in the State of New York, do hereby declare, that I enlisted in the Continental line of the Army of the Revolution, for and during the war, and continued in its service until its termination; at which period, I was a private, in a company commanded by Lieutenant Lord, according my recollection, in the second regiment, commanded by Col.

Yarmansbury, Tompkins Co. N.Y. Augt 4 1828, To the Hon. Peter B. Porter, Sir,
Enclosed are papers of Amos Whipley, a Revolutionary War, for the purpose of enabling him to draw a pension. Mr. Whipley, had been on the Pension List, but was, three or four years ago, stricken off, not because he was not in fact poor enough to entitle him to a pension; but because he was too ignorant himself, and too infirm and inefficient, to procure others to give the proper declarations about his circumstances. He is old, infirm and not worth a shilling now. This application is not predicated on his poverty.
Should Mr. Whipley be entitled to a pension under the act of Congress referred to in his papers, please transmit to me, at Yarmansbury , Tompkins County , New York , the evidence usual in such cases, of his being entitled thereto.
I am yours in High regard H. D. Barto
