Spitz in the Regiment of the United States is rendered incapable of performing the duty of a soldier, by reason of a wounds or other injuries inflicted while he was actually in the service aforesaid, and in the line of his duty, viz.
By satisfactory evidence and accurate examination, it appears that on the 20 th day of August in the year 1794 being engaged with the Indians at or near a place called The Maume of the Lake in the Ohio district, or territory, of  the Ohio he received gun shot wound in his left arm just below his elbow which ball passed through and wounded two of the principal Muscles of the fore arm viz Biceps Brachii. Flexor. And the Brachialis Internus. which has caused an inability in a great degree, to open and shut his fingers, together with considerable debility of his arm, and he is thereby, not only incapacitated for military duty, but, in the opinion of the undersigned, is One half disabled from obtaining his subsistence from manual labor.
