I James Satter. A citizen of the United States residing in Scarborough in the county of York Commonwealth of Massachusetts on both Sides and elsewhere -
According to the best of my recollection sometime in the month of March seventeen hundred and seventy seven, I enlisted a Soldier at Prospect Hill near Boston, under Capt William Sear in Col. Hitchcock's Regiment of the Massachusetts line for the term of one year, and then marched to New York. After serving the above mentioned time, against the Common Enemy. I was honorably discharged at Norwalk in the State of Connecticut. but have no discharge in writing, as it is out of my power to produce any further evidence of my having served the above mentioned time in the State of Connecticut, but by reason of my advanced age, and the infirmities of my body, together with the reduced circumstances of my life I stand in need of the assistance of my Country for support.

The Applicant hath this day produced as evidence of his service the enclos'd Certificate of Col. Angell of Smithfield (R.I.) Major in the late Revolutionary War. The Certificate is not executed with all the formality desirable, I hope will assist the Applicant, as he faithfully serv'd. I believe is upwards of 70 years of age, and most likely poor . It will be seen I presume that Col. Angell was an officer in one of the R.I. Island Reg'ts. He is not personally known to me. The Applicant says he has just rec'd the Certificate from him, and I believe him. —
