Sir The enclosed is a second schedule of Ebenezer Phillips whose claim I consider equal to that of Cheney & others - when he applied before he had in possession a little piece of land which he had purchased since his Pension was granted him & expected to pay for it with his Pension Money but since he has been struck off his land has been taken from him and he is now left destitute of any property - this comprises all that I now know of who I think is entitled to a reconsideration

Ebenezer Phillips late a Pensioner of the United States being duly sworn doth depose & say, that at the time he made his first schedule to be con- tinued on the Pension Roll, among the articles enumerated was a contract for fifty acres of land - two calves and a note against Charles Phillips of fifty dollars - the calves soon after died. - this deponent was at that time indebted to Gustin Clark of Sackets Harbor near two hundred dollars, and Charles Phillips was security for this deponent to said Clark. this deponent being unable to pay the said Clark, he gave assigned his contract above referred to, to the said Clark, (which had already become forfeited to the Sandholders) and the fifty dollar note he gave up to Charles Phillips in part-payment of the amount he became liable to pay the said Clark - the other property was nearly or quite all sold by Shubael Wash- cott, Constable on Execution against this deponent -

Sir:
The old revolutionary Pension within named has applied to me to assist him in his case within set forth: he is aged and infirm. And Sir I believe the facts are that he has a young wife who is disposed to take goods out of the store of Peter's blank & he has put the old gentleman off for one or two years with prevarication and finesse entirely, the old gentleman is wanting to buy a cow & some other things and to effect a purchase he wants his certificate but I have advised him to have no Lawsuit & take this course.
I ought to say I have no interest whatever in the case any further than to under his assistance. I know him to be a Revolutionary Pension
