Sir I send you herewith the Petition of Widow Lydia Winter of this Town for a Certificate under the late Pension Law for one year. it will be found that she was a Pensioner under the five years Law and that her late Husband Asa Winter was a Pensioner and that he was a Colonel in the Revolution. She draws her Pension as such. She is almost without memory and cannot remember the particular Regiment to which her husband was attached and has no means of knowing without a reference to the papers now in your office. which if her Petition is so informal that it will not answer. She requests that the name of the Regiment may be made known to her from the papers now in the office of her son or her late husband yours most Respectfully Deborah Winters
