Sir, We herin enclose you the application of David Loviston for a pension. His discharge has been lost and witnesses cannot be procured at a less distance than the State of Massachusetts. On account of his poverty we have advised him to suffer his application to be sent without any farther proof than what is here sent. Should the rolls be lost or any other circumstance render more proof necessary, upon the receipt of such an intimation full proof of service &c. will be procured. We wish an early answer to this application more especially if more proof should be required.
We are very respectfully,
of your obedt servts
