We wish that you would examine my papers that is in the pension office and consider me and write what is wanting I listed when General Washington lay at Virginia and was drove from Wilmington He sent in to the country for Eighty who were to be armed I listed and in twenty days rejoined the army at the grand parade We sent for independence in the time of found very hard fate but with the fire and without shoes and poorly clothed suffered with cold and the loss of blood if General Washington was alive he would give me a pension when I think back how we fought at Saratoga then sent Independence white plumes of smoke to stand a sympathetic tear for my poor brother Saldeum the united States can lay out thousands of dollars to build monuments from dry leaves and not pay the poor Saldeum one cent who bore the burden and heat of the day
Fare you well wishing friend Isaac Johnson State of Ohio County of Huron township one word more that is I do not mean to cast any reflection against Mr Adams till I receive a letter from you I wish a letter as quick as can be sent for the Education I was might

August 20 1828
As I wrote a few lines to inform you that I have made repeated applications to the pension office for a pension I think that I disserve it or I should not tryed for For it I was in the Continental line about two years but our whole of the Company was burnt at Washington but Samuel Johnson swore before the Court in York State that he listed me and Eleven more I think the Only reason was that I did not get it when I petition was because that he did not State the very year that he listed me he is an old man and likely forgot the year I have sworn under oath that I listed for April in 1777 and that served one year under such officers as is mentioned in Samuel Johnson Affidavit which is in the pension office I have had two letters wrote to the president and a number of papers which I wish your honour would get and examine if you please he has not read wrote me no answer I have been told by the Jacksonites that he would pick my letters under the table and that he would serve me as if I was in Washington am not a dog I belong to the human family it was wrote that I believed that he was a patriot aspired to revolution soldiers and one that ruled the people in the fear of god but the Jackson party say that he is not neither of them we likewise wrote that I would spend the summer in promoting the Election but if it is true what they stat I will oppose the Election with all the Combined powers that I am capable of for if it is wrongly stated to me I wish you would write to me a favourable letter in behalf of the president and I will receive kindly gratefully

May 1 1903 To the Pension Bureau, Washington D. C.
I am in pursuit of information regarding Isaac Johnson a soldier of the Revolution , who enlisted from Guilford Conn. May 8, 1777. I had supposed this was the Isaac born in Guilford in 1756. But I find there was an Isaac Johnson, a pensioner in 1832 from Middlesex County. The Isaac of 1756 died in 1805. Were there two Isaac Johnsons? If only one, when and where and at what age did he die? Any facts regarding his (or their) service would be thankfully received.
Respectfully
E. Walter Leete
