St John near Farnworth My Dear Sir Decm 22 1837
I have just received your letter of the 5 th instant, as you do not mention the Christian name of Col d Lucas, I have to infer from your letter, that it is Col d Robert Lucas, once a member of the Council of Virginia, with whom I served the two last & 8 campaigns of the war of the revolution under Gen l Green in South Carolina & received of that war, he was a Quaker none of the Virginia documents, whether first or second I do not remember when he entered the army I do not know, as he was very young I presume it was about the year 1780, he was a dear friend of mine and I would do anything I could to promote the interest of his widow & family to whom I tender my cordial regards -

as my certificate of Service has been often accepted by the proper authorities without objection and I have not the means of making I have no doubt that this letter will be equally effectual, with respect
Yours sincerely Brooke
