Gentlemen:-
Kindly let me know if you have a record of one Samuel Lane , of Bedford, Mass, and if so age, date of birth etc.
There were two Samuel Lane's, and as one had a war record and the other did not, I take this method of finding out "which is which". The peculiar coinci- dence is that both were born in 1737 but in different months. Hoping you may be able to

Throw some light on the matter & thanking you for anything you may feel inclined to do for me I am
very truly yours.
