Sir
In compliance with the requisition of your letter dated 13 April last I have procured these depositions proving the service of Bulkeley Hutchins during the Revolution. They will be found herein. Mr. Hutchins received no pay but after the war he rec d . what he terms a final settlement note for £26, nor did he receive any bounty as he volunteered and took the place of his Brother Simon Hutchins as will appear by the affidavits sent. The manner and time of his joining the Army at Saratoga may perhaps be the reason why his name is not found on "the roll of recruits for the New-Hampshire line in 1782"

Simon Hutchins, (whose place you say he took) it appears, from his account in Colley's Regimental Ledger, deserted July 20 th . 1779. There is the following memorandum at the bottom of his account "Procured a Man in his room & was discharged by Maj. Wm Scott March 1. 1782".

Col. S. L. Edwards,
Commr of Pensions-
Sir,
Mr. Berkeley Hutchinson, has applied to me to assist him in procuring a pension. He was pensioned under the act of 1818 but his pension has been stopped. There has been correspondence upon the subject with your office, and in your letter to Hon. S. Root, of 8 th March, last, it is intimated that an application under the act of 1832 may be effectual.
Several years have elapsed since I have assisted in making an application under the act of 1832, and I now write to ascertain, whether the same forms of proceeding are still required that were promulgated soon after the passage of the law. I refer particularly to appearing before a court of record - and to the corroborating testimony of the clergymen, or two other persons -
Will you oblige me with an answer?

To the Comr. of Pensions.
Sir,
Herewith, are transmitted the papers of Bulkley Hutchins, in support of his claim for a pension under the act of June 7, 1832, made in pursuance of the suggestions in letters from the Comr. of Pensions to Hon. S. Root, of March 8, 1845, to James Paine of Apr 15 th , and to myself of June 28 th in the same year.
The present declaration states the service of the applicant to have been nine months, and there is one fact stated which goes far to corroborate the allegation as to length of service. I refer to the amount of the "final settlement note," being, as set forth by the declarant, £18, which is the gross amount of wages for nine months, at forty shillings per month. If, after giving the case a further examination, it shall be considered that the pensioner should be restored to the former pension, I suppose it can be done, notwithstanding his relinquishment in the paper inclosed.
I take it there can be no doubt of the applicant's right to receive a pension for whatever time he actually served. I am unacquainted with the evidence furnished heretofore - but am told, that the affidavit of Lt. Wilkins was plenary. That affidavit, together with the others filed, and the evidence now procured from the Secretary of State of New Hampshire, seem to fully substantiate the claim.

Mr Foot forwarded me your letter of the 8 th Inst stating that you returned my letter in the case of Buckley Hutchins, a suspended pensioner, he is sure that he served more than nine and not quite ten months, thinks the pay Roll will show the fact of such service & does not think he will be able to make proof otherwise than by such Roll his pension was suspended after the death of Mr Temple he immediately renewed his application for such pension & it appears, by a correspondence between Merritt Clark, Esq r of Middlesex & yourself during the year 1835 that the proof was insufficient to establish the fact of the 9 months service as alleged by Mr Hutchins, Mr Clark wrote to the Secretary of State of New Hampshire who in reply stated that there were no records of the service of Revolutionary Soldiers in that Office but that they were all forwarded to Washington several years before, these records I wished Mr Foot to search for which was the main purpose & object for which I wrote him having some acquaintance with him & being one of his constituents considered him with the business as an act of courtesy to myself and Mr Hutchins. I am in the possession of the correspondence between yourself & Mr Clark above referred to & will state to you that the correspondence ceased in Dec 1835 since which time all the papers have been in the possession of Col Jesse Jones of Brattleboro & of his administrators since his death until the past winter some of them I obtained since my letter to Mr Foot & would respectfully refer you to the following Clause of your last letter to Mr Clark of Dec 10 th 1835, "If it be admitted that he did become the substitute of his brother although he has described it as an ordinary Enlistment"

his service commenced on 1 st March 1782 and continued until 1 st Nov 1782 agreeably to his own statement and that of Lieutenant Wilkin, making 8 months only which is insufficient to bring his case within the act of 1818 under which he claims & has drawn.
In yours of the 8 th Inst to Mr Foot you say if the records show a series of less than 9 and more than 6 months his claim would be allowed under the act of June 7 th 1832 at a rate computed by the half pay of his actual service and his pension commencing without deduction on the day to which his former pension was paid. It appears from your letter of Dec 10 th 1835 that the fact of 8 months service is admitted on the part of the Government if he admits that he took the place of his brother as substitute this he has always done to me & does not seem to understand the difference between that and an ordinary Enlistment. Says he Enlisted to serve unexpired time of his brother, now if it be admitted that he served 8 months he wishes to claim under the act of 1832 & thinks he will be obliged to relinquish his claim under the act of 1818 unless the pay roll can be found to establish the fact of 9 months service.
If there is any thing more to be said on his part he wishes you to write me what is necessary for him to do as he thinks he has long ago established the fact of 8 months service & is aged and in fine and needs all that heavenly belongs to him for his support in a declining old age as he has been sustained for the most part since his pension was suspended by the industry and economy of two daughters, one of which is now my wife.
I should not have written you had not Mr Foot forwarded me your letter & having the correspondence with Mr Clark & yourself take the liberty to refer you to your last letter to Mr Clark in connection with yours to Mr Foot in future if necessary to continue correspondence shall employ some one acquainted with such business.
Yours in fine, as heretofore must be allowed he would be entitled to for 8 months service.

You will confer a favor by replying to this as soon as you receive it if convenient not only upon an old soldier but upon one who feels anxious that he together with his aged wife should be provided for during the short time they have to stay
Your statue is given to the Clerk of D.C. 1858 that he would be required to return his special Certificate which I enclosed to you in this

Sir
In reply to your communication of the 11 March last and in explanation of my statement dated 24 Feb y last - I will say, that I enlisted at Saratoga New York - at the Barracks located but a few rods distant from the place where Burgoyne surrendered - that paper relating to my enlistment was made out by Maj t Scott (I think his name was John Scott) - that I joined immediately the first New Hampshire Regiment commanded by Col. Henry Dearborn - that previous to my enlistment which I think took place place in the latter part of January or fore part of February 1782 (I cannot give the precise date) I resided in Pawlet Vermont. I think am confident however that my enlistment took place while the Legislature of this State was in session in the town of Brimington.
I was discharged at Albany N York in Nov r or Dec r 1782 having served about two months - I was at that time an invalid in the hospital at said Albany - About the same time of my discharge said N H Regiment removed from Saratoga to West Point for Winter quarters.
If the foregoing statement should not be sufficient to verify my services you are respectfully requested before a

final decision shall be made - to give me notice - and I think I can fur- nish satisfactory evidence - if it be not already furnished to by this Com- munication
