Quick's papers are here with returned to the Pension Office conformable I believe exactly to the instructions received -
It was intended that no such person as Colonel Sturgeon appears on the rolls of the army - I presume that is owing to the circumstance of his never having joined the Regiment as I am informed by Quick he died immediately after his appointment.
Besides the name may not be spelled correctly It may be Stenson or Sturtevant as I have spelled it or Sturgeon as I spelled it in the former declaration - However this can be of no consequence in opposition to a claim so fortified by evidence Quick lives in the vicinity of this place -
