It is hereby certified that Jedediah Sumbard a private soldier in Captain Smiths Elkins Company & Col. Denny M c Robbs Regiment of Volunteer Infantry, in the United States Service; was in actual Service at Burlington, in the state of Vermont, in the Spring and summer of 1813; and suffered a severe attack of the Fever which at that time was epidemic in that place; which so far destroyed the powers of vision as to cause him to be discharged from service, on the thirteenth day of August 1813; as appears by his discharge; & as I have myself a perfect recollection; as I was at that time a Surgeons Mate in said regiment, and performed the whole surgical duties of said Regiment. He was then by the means above mentioned, rendered unable to perform military duty and in a great measure disqualified from obtaining his subsistence by manual Labour.
Since the above time I have not seen him to my recollection; as he lives one hundred Miles distant. My information since that time is the same as will accompany this, which from my knowledge of Docd How is undoubtedly correct.

Sir
Enclosed I forward the honorable discharge of Jedediah Sumbard, an Invalid, late a private in the Volunteer Corps - the certificate of Dr Bates, the Surgeon's Mate and Acting Surgeon to the Regt at the time of J. S's discharge, accompanied with the deposition of Dr Hove a respectable Physician of Stenelish, stating the "degree" of disability ("total") with whom Dr Bates is personally acquainted and to the truth of which he gives full credit. The poverty of Sumbard prevents his travelling the distance which he lives from Dr B. (100 miles) to obtain a more particular certificate from him as to the degree of disability, from a personal examination ; but I presume the evidence of the two Surgeons accompanied by that of Col McCobb will be deemed amply sufficient in the case - Would request the certificate might be transmitted to me and the Pension inscribed on the Roll of the District of Maine
I have the honor to be
