That in the particular in his original declaration he stated that he enlisted and served for 12 months in Col.

But being now corrected, he states, that he was in actual service in the field, under that enlistment exclusive of marchings to and from the regiment, but six months — viz — That in the latter part of May or beginning of June 1778 he first joined the regiment at Housatuck and served as he has stated in his original, till the latter part of August or beginning of September of that year, full 3 months and was then permitted to return home; He now recollects that Col.
