To the Hon. John E. Calhoun, Secretary of War of the United States,
The Petition of Isaac Taylor late of Hague in the County of Warren and State of New York, now of Putney in the County of Windham and State of Vermont,
Respectfully represents That on the 5th day of October A.D. 1818 he was inscribed on the pension list, Roll of the New York Agency, (as a private in the army of the Revolution) at the rate of Eight dollars per month, to commence on the 14th day of April A.D. 1818 - in conformity with the law of the United States of the 18th March A.D. 1818 - That on the second day of December A.D. 1820 a Schedule of his property was examined and his name, by the Secretary of War, directed to be continued on the Pension Roll - That your petitioner has lately removed from the said Town of Hague in the State of New York, and now resides in the said Town of Putney in the State of Vermont - And your petitioner further represents that it would be very inconvenient and extremely difficult for him to draw his pension money at the office of the agent in New York, He therefore prays to be transferred from the Roll of the New York Agency, to the Roll of the Vermont Agency, that hereafter he may draw his pension money at the office of the agent in Vermont at Burlington.
