Sir,
Mr. James F. Valentine is under the belief that there is something due on account of his father's (Barnabas Valentine's) revolutionary services. - As it appears from the enclosed that he was a pensioner I will thank you to be so good as to let me know the term and nature of those services.
Be so good as to return his letter.
Yours very respectfully Francis A. Dickinson.
James L. Edwards Esq. Com r . of Pensions.

I certify that the name of Bernard Valentine is amongst a number of names in a paper on file in this Office headed "a list of soldiers of Captain Sample's company 10 regiment Pennsylvania" that it appears thereby he enlisted in May one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven - that although the said paper is not signed or has any official character it appears by the remarks in the hand writing of John Nicholson formerly Comptroller General of Pennsylvania (with whose hand writing I am well acquainted) that the said paper had been used by him the said Nicholson in the adjustment of the accounts of the Officers and privates therein written - Witness my hand and the Seal of the Office of the Auditor General at Harrisburg the 5 th day of January 1889
