I forward again the Papers of Isaac Lockwood Esq, hoping they may be deemed sufficient to prove one year and one month the constant service as a Private in a company raised by the State of Connecticut, but, for the benefit of the United States. There is no doubt he performed the services as stated in his declaration. He is a man of strict integrity and would not misstate his services for the sake of obtaining $43.33 per annum.
Respectfully Your Ob dt Servant
