Dear Sir:
I wrote to you some time ago asking whether or not Amos Weix' name appears on the Pension rolls of the Revolutionary War. You replied that if I wished to establish a pension claim I must send certain evidence, &c.
Now I do not wish to establish a pension claim at all simply want proof that one Amos Weix served in the Revolutionary War, in order that I may join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
This Amos Weix resided in Muskingum Co. Ohio after the war and died there and also his wife . But I am not certain where he lived when he enlisted. Do not know what organization he served but hope he was an officer or private at least. Do not know date of death or given name of child.
My mother does not remember she is 77 yrs old.
Please let me know if you find his name. She tells me he was a soldier in the Revolutionary war.

Sir, about a one & half year since, I sent the application of Mrs Clarinda Mix for a pension, in consequence of the services of Thomas Mix deceased, and at the same time sent you the best evidence she could then procure, you passed on her papers, and found them not to come up to the rules of your office. Since which time and lately I have procured the best evidence of marriage. Viz the record of the Church where they were married. You will take such action on her case as she is entitled to, & send the result to me at this place. with sentiments of esteem I am Sir

I Certify, that on further application in reference to the service of Amos Mix, whose service in the War of the Revolution I made a Certificate of, dated 12 Nov r . 1811 o in the Regiments of Colonels Return J. Meigs and Lebalon Butler, continuously, from the 9 th April 1777 to the end of the year 1781 — I have re-examined the settlements made with those Regiments, and find but one Amos Mix there mentioned — and from the continuous service in both Regiments, I have no doubt but it was rendered by one and the same person.

The Hon. Commissioners of Pensions Dear Sir
inclosed I send you a Declaration made by Clarinda Nix in order to obtain a Pension for her self. you will pleas attend to her case as soon as possible as she is very old and very needy also, all the necessary proofs in regard to her marriage are on file in your office, as I suppose as they were sent on some time ago to have not , she made no statements in regard to her husbands service as her memory is very much impaired by old age. I supposed it not necessary for her to make any statements in regard to his service more than she has made in her declaration for this reason her husband had drew a Pension for many years previous to his death and up to the time of his death which took place at the time stated in the declaration. you will very readily  readily perceive that the facts of service have been proved heretofore, you will pleas direct all communications to me in referance to her case direct to Danversville ohio
Yours very Respectfully William Ricketts
