Sir,
The inclosed was returned to me on the ground that the applicants name could not be found on the rolls. To gether with a line from Mr. Edwards mentioning what would be further necessary. Which was, the affidavits of two credible and disinterested witnesses, corroborating the declaration of the applicant. You will accordingly find annexed the deposition of Isaac Smally and John Cooper two respectable men, with the signature of the majestates and seal of the Court. The reason I expect that you do not find Mr. Barringtons name is, that he was taken a prisoner, and confined for some time in New York. When he got exchanged, the company had marched into the State of New York. And he was never after enrolled in the same Company or Regiment. Mr. Barrington is an infirm man, and I believe very much in respect
I am Sir, respectfully your obedient Servant Thomas Hartwell
