Sir,
Inclosed is application & documents in the case of Mary Randall applicant for increase of pension. Quere, Where the additional service proved to increase the pension of a private is for service as a private enough to make up the two years , & for higher service which would not be enough to make up the two years should not the higher service be taken first as far as it will go & the ballance of service to make up the two years be taken from the service as a private? Should you adopt the affirmative as the true principle, the applicant, I apprehend, is entitled to twenty two months as a private & two months as a corporal instead of two years as a private.

The application of Mary Rendell of Sunnington in the county of York State of Maine widow of James Rendell late of said Sunnington deceased for a pension of said James Rendell service in the Revolutionary war
The said James Rendell was a native of Newick in the county of York State of Maine & served in the Revolutionary war as follows He enlisted in the Spring of 1775 under (I think) Captain Norwell in Col. Scammon's Regiment for eight months & served that term of time at Cambridge & was at the battle of Bunker Hill - He is supposed at that time to have enlisted at Newick afterward .
He enlisted again in a company in Col. Dummer's Regiment & Lieutenant Frost was in said company - enlisted for a year & probably at Cambridge as it was soon after the expiration of his eight months service & served that term.
He enlisted again in 1777 in Captain Grant's company in Col. Storer's Regiment for three months & was detained & served four months.
He enlisted again in the expedition at Bagaduce I don't know under what officer but I think it was under another Captain Grant & served about three months I hardly affirm that it was under my attorney in the premises. I am sixty years of age and cannot now definitely state my husband's services except what I have stated is under the gratification that it is merely my belief which I have derived from conversation with my said husband. But at Sunnington appears in the probate of July A.D. 1895.
