Sir
The inclosed Papers of William Warren a Soldier in the Revolutionary Army were returned to me on the 15 th August as imperfect for the want of two witnesses in support of his Declaration, in addition to the deposition John Bush he has procured also that of Benjamin Chamberlain in compliance with the forms adopted by the War department as he at the time of his service lived in Massachusetts he found it difficult to find witnesses here where he has lived many years, without going to his former residences The however is here well known as a Soldier who served during the War, and he was placed on the Pension list and soon after his name was struck from off the Pension list on account of having too much property.
Having been here to fully prove to have served during the War I had supposed the Evidence of the truth of his present Declaration would have been dispensed with his Pension papers will be found in the Pension office I hope he will now meet with no other obstacle to his application
