James S. Edwards Esq. War Department - Pension Office
Sir - I again forward to your Department the Discharge of Dudley Tracey - I forwarded it once before - and it was returned, I think for no further requisition than my Certificate of his Service: Service - with which I was not acquainted - as he lived in a distant Town - I wrote him immediately but it seems my Letter did not reach him for months - and when it did - Subseq: Poverty and Distress, it seems, prevented his attending to the Subject. Today he has procured satisfactory Evidence of his Service - and has given a Certificate accordingly. As to Tracey's Services, I can only state that I have long been acquainted with Ebenezer Perkins - that the included Certificate A is of his hand writing - that he was as I always understood, a Lieutenant in Brown- =ston's Company - Hurlburt's Regiment in the Year 1776 - I knew him personally afterwards as a Captain in the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army - as such he is on the Pension List under the late Act of Congress - He has lately removed from this Town and the poor Soldier cannot at present procure a more authenticated Document as Proof of Service
I am respectfully
