To the Commission of Pensions. Dear Sir.
Will you please send me a copy (for genealogical purposes) of the application for pension for Samuel Stow, of Milford, Ct. who served as a Sailor during the Revolutionary War. A pension was granted him - I wish to get some dates of time of service, also age of the applicant etc.
Yours etc.

Hon James Lamont, Commissioner of Pensions. Dear Sir,
I thank you very much for the trouble you have taken for me, in respect to data concerning Samuel Stow a Revolutionary Soldier. But the Samuel Stow I asked of, was a Sailor , during the Revolution war and is reported to have had a pension. He was born & lived in Milford Ct. 1755-1830. Now what I want to know is whether this is the same Samuel Stow, who was Midshipman on the Colony Ship, " Oliver Cromwell ," Built for Saybrook, Ct. For in an old pay roll he is reported to have enlisted Jan. 20, 1778. His Ship returned the "Admiral Neppel" 18 guns, & some letters of Mar.
Yours respectfully,
W m Freeman French. M.D.
