Dear Sir:
Timothy Misp served through the war of the Revolution, in the latter part of which he served as Lieutenant of Artillery, being commissioned as such. After the war he drew a pension as private (I think) his Lieutenants Commission having been entrusted to the Colonel of the Regt. and could not at that time be found. From 1818 (I think) to the time of his death in 1824 he drew a pension as Lieutenant as will appear of record. In August last the original commission of Mr Misp as Lieut was found among the papers of the Colonel and is now in the hands of the heirs of said Timothy Misp. Question: Are those heirs now entitled to the back pay which it would seem Timothy Misp as Lieutenant might have claimed? If so what steps are necessary to secure the claim? By giving me an early answer you will much oblige
Respectfully Yours
Colin M. Ingalls.
