To Mr. J. F. Davenport
Dear Sir:-
Your note of Nov 3 has just been received. Thank you very much for taking so much trouble for me but I am sorry to say you sent me the wrong record. my great grand father was Caleb Whiting of Billerica, enlisted Mch 30 1781 for three years. he was 16 yrs old at that time, and the time his pension was granted was March 30 th 1818-

he died in 1825 did his widow receive the pension after his death? The account of the man you sent to me was Caleb Whitney of Marblehead. Can you tell me whose Company Caleb Whitney was in - I know he left a pension as I have one of my papers given at the War Office 29 th of January 1819.
Yours truly H. Alma Cummings
