Respectful Sir
You perhaps recollect my calling on your Hon. at your Office in Hartford last November to enquire what method I ought to take to make application for a pension; I partially stated my case to you, you told me you did not know of any provision yet made by Congress whereby I could obtain a pension, but thought there might be in the next  the next Congress: I therefore with the advice of my friends of good judgment & from the Pension Office in Hartford to write to you, and inclose my papers of my first application and likewise for my present application to your care and good judgment to manage
I therefore with feeling of gratitude to you for your benevolent treatment to me at your Office desire you to take my papers and act for me in such a manner as shall redound to your Honor, and my benefit. If any thing should be necessary for me to do, please write me — if you see cause to enter my papers, perhaps you had better call on the Hon. Calvin Willey a Senator in Congress for he is well acquainted with me, and knows whether I have been a faithful man in business; all which I Respectfully Submit to your wise goodness to manage —

Dear Sir,
Your letter on the first page of this sheet informs me that a pension will be allowed me for nine months service as a Sergeant without further evidence but for the other two tours of two months each a pension will not be granted without further evidence, the accompanying depositions of Aaron Flint & Joshua Pease I hope & trust will be satisfactory on that point of your letter. The reasons why those two tours were not put into my former declaration are that they being mere militia services my counsel in that case was of opinion it would avail nothing to insert them & so I did not. Dear Sir with the highest Respect & Esteem

Your original declaration under the Act of 1818. states nine months service as a sergeant in Col. Wells' Regiment in 1780. This is all the service therein set forth; and so much will be allowed in the computation of your pension, without further evidence. But the additional services, now set out for the first time, cannot be allowed, unless they are satis- factorily proved. Your papers are returned.
