New York July 27 th 1818.
Sir,
I have the honor to transmit again to the Department of War the papers intended to be substantiate the claim of Philip Walling to a Pension — They were returned to my care to be conformed to the law of the 18 th March last. Evidences were then taken under that law, and forwarded to Washington, and were again returned because Walling served through the Revolutionary War as a Volunteer, and did not belong to the Continental establishment —
It is hoped that the papers will be found regular, and laid before Congress at the next Session —
I am Sir, Very Respectfully Hunble John C. Calhoun Your Obed. Servt. Secy of War. James H. Hatch.

HEAD-QUARTERS, NEW-YORK, March 11 1818
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, that Phillip Wohlbringer formerly a Private in the Company of Capt Cartwright in the Reg t commanded by Col Asker Holmes of U. S. is rendered incapable of performing the duty of soldier by reason of wounds he received while he was actually in the service aforesaid and in the line of his duty, viz. at Pleasant valley during the revolutionary war.
By satisfactory evidence and accurate examination it appears that on the  day of in the year 1781 being engaged with the enemy at or near a place called Pleasant valley in the State of New Jersey he received a wound in his head by a broad sword or Sabre for this time evident which has gradually produced great debility, which, with his being advanced in years, makes him an object for Pension.
and he is thereby not only incapacitated for military duty, but in the opinion of the undersigned is wholly disabled from obtaining his subsistence by manual labour.
