Dear Sir -
Your letter of the 16 th of Nov r has been Rec d and after Reflection on the subject have given my affidavit which goes with Bills enclosed as to the services of Adam Sines in the Militia, that marched from the County of Culpep r in the year of 1777 - from your statement that Sines says that he was under Capt s William Pendleton, in stead of Wm. it was James Pendleton, Pendleton went on as far as what was called Braves Creek in the state of Maryland from whence he returned Home, and also a part of his Company, and the balance of them was placed under Capt s Henry Hill, this I know to be the fact as I was Hill's Lieut t - the detachment of Militia was Commanded by my Father, Col l William Roberts,
I am and have been much of an invalid ever since the Rec d of your letter otherwise it would have been attended to sooner - the County Seal is not attached to my affidavit as you requested I sent it up to Washington by a Gentleman on Monday last to have it done but he neglected to attend to it
I have therefore thought it best to forward it to you as it is, and if you should be Consoled to have the Seal, you can send it soon by some friend wishing that this may answer your purpose -
Very Respectfully
Y r O b t Serv t
