I first enlisted and entered the service in the Spring of 1775 and sometime in the course of the summer of that year, after Genl. Washington arrived near Boston. I engaged during the War and served through till the Peace in 1783 when I was regularly and honorably discharged from the service, with Genl. Washington's name to my discharge. At the discharge I lost many years ago when I had my house burnt down I suppose, so that it is now out of my power or possession. I enlisted and served the whole time, in the first Massachusetts Regiment when I first entered I served under Capt. Moses Hurrey - afterwards Capt. Miller commanded the Company - The first part of the time the Regiment was commanded by Col. Brewer - and after Col. Brewer left the Army, Col.

And I further, upon oath declare that I am now between eighty & ninety years of age - very infirm - totally destitute of property - and dependent on the town for support - Therefore by reason of my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of the assistance of my country for support -

Your note directed to Susan- na Hovey respecting her application for a Pension is recd. - and the objection now seems to be that you have not been informed who her attorney is and don't know, with whom to correspond. This to me is surprising, for I have before this, recd several commu- nications from the department, respecting this application, and why this objection should be made after a correspondence has begun I know not - I have been her attorney from the contents of her petition, and prepared the amended declaration a few weeks since and forwarded it - Now Sir, if you will have the goodness to inform me, what evidence will be sat- isfactory to the department, that I am authorized to correspond with the department as her at- torney, that evidence I will immediately trans- mit to you - A similar objection was made six months ago in case of the application I sent to the

department of Mrs Jones - and I wrote again explicitly stating that I need her attorney and I received for answer that such statement was not sufficient - Since that time I have not heard from it -
I would willingly comply with the rules of the department if I could find out what they were - and Sir if you will inform me what evidence is necessary at the department to show my authority to correspond, you shall have it -
Respectfully yours

J. Mincat Esq. Com r of Pensions Sir
By your letter of the 20 th of Aug. I am informed that the application for Bounty of Susannah Huzzy has been suspended for the reason the service of her husband James Huzzy "does not appear of record in this office."
Will you have the goodness to inform me whether the pension papers of the applicant & her late husband have been examined & whether they do not promise or refer to record evidence of service ?
I have no doubt the old lady is of the age she states (104) & that she states the service of her husband as correctly as her somewhat untrained memory permits — I earnestly hope she might obtain the tenure —
very respectfully yours, Holland Hoall
