In enclosed is the application of Heyrick Whittlock for a Pension he has lost his recollection by age and infirmities to a very great degree you will perceive his name on the roll of Capt. Northrop's Company and the disposition of Mr. Benedict will I believe be ample proof of his services for seven months Mr. Whittlock has always been as far as my knowledge extends a true friend to his Country
I hope you will examine the papers of Joseph Haddock, David Marvin and Seth Boston soon as they wish very much to hear from you with great respect yours &c Benj. Isaac
