J. L. Edwards Esq. Sir.
At the request of Joseph M. Pine a pensioner formerly of Rutland Co. in the state of Vermont but now of this place I state to you a few facts for your opinion as to the possibility of his obtaining an additional pension — Mr Pine tells me that on the expiration of his term of service as a Soldier (and of which service you have the evidence at the time of granting his present pension) he was in the family of Major Lunt who he says was Commissary General of the Brigs at West Point in this state. — That when he was discharged he was very strongly solicited by Major Lunt to continue in the service and was by him offered an Ensign commission. That he declined staying then (which was in the fall) but promised to return in the spring after. That he accordingly returned in the spring and received a commission as an Ensign and assisted Major Lunt in the Commissary Department at West Point until the close of the War about the term of one year — when he was discharged. That he then returned home poor and in rags. and through carelessness lost his commission a record of it — That when he applied for his pension in Vermont. he was informed that he could get nothing unless he had some living witnesses who could testify to his service. That his service as an Ensign having been in the Commissary Department as above stated. he could find no person living who could testify to his service there — Major Lunt having with his family and some other friends some time before removed to the Westward and the whole party having been cut off by the Indians and he being dead. — He therefore only applied for a pension as a common Soldier which he has drawn since 1858. — Mr Pine is in indigent circumstances and wants to know if there is any possibility of his obtaining an Ensign pension under the circumstances. and if so if it will be allowed to him from the time it was proved he was in the service or from this time — his name will undoubtedly appear from the roll of officers if it is not lost. his wife is living with him and is also dependent on his pension — they were married in 1784 — Mr Pine is a man of credit and his case interests the feelings of our community in his behalf. — Will you please examine the matter and if there is any hope for him of obtaining relief by informing me of the manner in which it can be effected. you will render him a kindness. — I hope the circumstances of his case will excuse the liberty I take in writing to you — by Respectfully Yours J.
