It is hereby certified that Aaron Little of Hamden in the county of New Haven formerly a private of Capt Blake's company in the Regiment- commanded and by Col. Thaddeus Cook who it appears by the accom- panying certificate was placed on the pension roll at the rate of Five Dollars and 33 1/3 cents per month on account as he states of having received a wound in the foot from a musket ball (Which injury may be thus described The Ball passed in an oblique direction from the tip of the third toe carrying away the whole of the second and passed out at or near the junction of the great toe with its met- carpal bone, producing an ankylosis of said joint. Since the ankylosis formed he has been unable to support the weight of the body on said limb without producing an almost complete paralysis of the limb, which has increased with his years to a wonderful degree. At the present time he is confined to his room by the increase of his decrepitude) while in the line of his duty service in the said service on or about the 7th day of October A.D. 1777 at a place called Bernis Heights in the state of New York, is not only still disabled in consequence of the said injury but in our opinion is entitled to Two Dollars and 66 2/3 cents or 2/3 of a full pension more than he already receives as a pensioner, being totally disabled from obtaining his subsistence by manual labor.

J. L. Edwards Esq r
Sir,
Enclosed is the application of Aaron Tuttle of Hamden (et.) for an increase of his pension, accompanied by his certificate, Judge's commission, & Surgeon's affidavit as to the increase of his disability, which renders entirely superfluous any observation I might be inclined to make relative to his situation. I cannot however refrain from saying, that it is truly miserable, and amply justifies the description in the Surgeon's affidavit.
With very highest respect
I am Sir
Your obed t servant

Hon. J. Edwards Esquire
Sir
In conformity with the order, requiring formal certificates to be issued to all Invalid Pensioners, I have the honour of presenting to the War Department, the inclosed application on behalf of Aaron Tuttle.
As there are a few Invalid Pensioners on the Roll of this state, who have become totally disabled, in consequence of wounds, received in the service of the United States, during the Revolutionary War; and being unacquainted with the formal mode of proceedings, in making an application for an increase of their pension, I therefore on their behalf, beg leave to request such information as may be deemed requisite by the War Department for attaining the above object.
With the highest respect
I am Sir Yr obedient Servt
Samuel Parsons
P.S. On the 22 d Sept. I forwarded to the War Department, an application for a pension certificate in favor of David Adkins, which having been returned in favor of Close, Hewitt & Webb which were forwarded several days afterwards, and fearful Adkins has never been rec d at Washington. - if so the Pensioner would wish to renew his application.
