The Honorable
Lewis Cass Esq.
Secretary of War.

Sir Not knowing the address of the Officer in your department who is charged with the business of pensions, I presume to direct this packet to you; knowing that you will put in the proper course.
In stating Facts, or in giving testimony to facts which occurred Fifty six years ago, there is no small difficulty in relating circumstances & dates with accuracy; — but I trust that my declaration is among the most correct that can be given.
If the papers of that early period have not perished in the two fires which have taken place in the public Offices, the Returns of the Northern Army at Ticonderoga from July to November 1776, which were made by me weekly to the General & by him to the War Office, may be found among them, and serve as proof of my statement.
If however the proper Officer shall think that it is defective in any point, & will state to me what further is required, I will endeavour to supply the defect by the testimony of Officers, a few of whom, my Contemporaries still survive.
I have the Honor to be with sincere Regard
To the Hon ble Lewis Cass, Secretary at War.
Sir Your most faithful Servant W. Brumbell 400 Broadway New York 26 th July 1832.
