Sir
Herewith I send the Certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut as to the service of the officers under whom Thomas Elyon served, being the same stated by him in his declaration, as filed in your department. The Comptroller suggests that the name of Mr Elyon may be on the Pay Rolls which he says are at Washington & perhaps a reference to the same will show that fact
As to further evidence I think it impossible at any rate I have made on his account all the inquiry which I am able to make & must say that the positive evidence of Mr Miles & of Mr Johnson & the evidence of Mr Ward, & the Certificate of the Compt of Conn. corroborated by the known character of Mr Elyon seems to make an impression upon my mind that there can be no deception or mistake in his case. The specification of him in his last aff. is intended to be within bounds & I have no doubt is less than the truth
I trust the additional evidence of his Claim herewith forwarded will be satisfactory to you
