In The case of the claim of Mary Phillips, widow of Anderson Phillips; I have to request a suspension of action on said claim, for the present, partly on account of the facts disclosed in your letter relating to his desertion, but more particularly as relating to his service after 1741, as it is confidently believed, said Anderson served a much longer time than that named in your letter.
