Sir
Hampton Sept. 22 d 1819.
When my Papers were lodged in the War Office, July 6 th 1818, the depositions of Capt. W m Watson, & Edward Taylor, proving my service in the Revolutionary War, were delivered with them, by Judge Thompson, but the above named depositions, were not returned to me, & as it appear the evidence sent was satisfactory, & that nothing more was necessary than the Judge's Certificate relation to my reduced circumstance, I concluded it would be unnecessary to be at the expense & trouble of procuring their evidence a second time. If Sir, you will be so kind as to direct whatever you may send to me, they - (Hampton Washington County, State N.Y.) to be left at Poultray Post Office. You will oblige your Humbt. Servt.
