Sir,
By the additional evidence, viz. the certificate of the Treasurer of New Jersey, it appears that Isaac Van Doran was paid for 8 months service as a Dragoon. All the service previous to that time specified by the witnesses is one month in 1776, and three months in 1777; being one year, which is all that can be allowed upon the proof on file. If it be decided to accept a pension for that term, a certificate will be issued accordingly.
I have the honor to be
Very respectfully
Your Obdt. Servt.
