Dear Sir,
I have the honour herewith to transmit to Your excellency my declaration from the Prince William Court for services performed in the Revolu- tionary war. I have rec d one Certificate from your Office, but a subsequent act of Congress as appears renders it necessary that I should obtain one in con- formity thereto. Though the knowledge of your Excellency on these subjects being so unimpaired, that I presume nothing more than the enclosed, is necessary to inform you what I stand in need of.
I beg that you will give this subject your early attention, which will be a singular favour bestowed
