I have served, through the whole of the Revolutionary War - in the line of the Army and in the troops of the State of New York. It has afforded me an opportunity to be acquainted with many of the soldiers of that day and I think I can tell very soon by examining a man whether he is entitled to the pension or not. Those I have noted entitled are entitled - as for Joshua Sears and some others which have been returned as inadmissible. I have held them long since they were not - as far as I know I intend to do as justice to the applicants and to my country -
Judge White called on me and wishes me to forward the papers of Jesse Miller - and requests that the Hon. the Secretary will return the proceeds of his application to me - I know the man - and believe him to be justly entitled

John Dodge - Thomas Kent David Ward - and William Hattit - applied for the Money and Isaac Lawrence Esq. told them their names had been transmitted to to the Loan office - and since further if they stood in need of the Money before the 4 th of March they had better write to the Secretary of War to send on their names - they are in great need to pro- -cure for themselves clothing etc. for the approaching winter -
Very respectfully y s C. V. Goddard
