Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
Will you please send me a certificate of the military service of Sherman Patterson in the Revolutionary War . He served with the New York troops and drew a pension and in 1840 he lived in Elba, N.Y. and was then 87 years old. He was then living with his son, Josiah Patterson. Shortly after that he moved to the eastern part of the State where he died about 1845, I think. Thanking you in advance for the same, I remain
Yours truly,
Frank S. Wood
