Sir
I herewith transmit the testimony in the case of Samuel Jackman's claim for a pension. In addition to the evidence which accompanied the claim to the pension office last August, I enclose the Affidavit of Jonathan Johnson, Moses Abbot, & Daniel Shepard; which evidence shows that Jackman served the same time that Moses Abbot & Jonathan Johnson served who have obtained certificates for a pension which certificates I rec d & handed to them. I therefore confident expect your honor will consider Jackman pecuniarily with Abbot & Johnson, for there remains no doubt in my mind but Jackman served more than 9 months on Continental establishment.
I am dear Sir yours respectfully
