Gilford, Strafford County, N.H. August 6 th 1825-
Hon. James Barbour.
Sir, That gross frauds and perjuries have in many instances been practised upon the Government by those who have claimed to draw pensions for revolutionary & other pretended services, I have never doubted, but a recent case of so gross a nature came to my knowledge a few days since, that I viewed it my duty as a citizen of this Union, to enquire into the facts, and lay them before you, Sir, as the Head of the War department,
By looking over the Roll you will discover that Robert Cambell of Chester, Windsor County _____ Vermont, was entered upon the Revolutionary pension Roll several years since, & has regularly drawn from the Treasury eight dollars per Month - You will find upon file, Affidavits drawn by Amos Folsom & Bathsheba administered by him, which if true would bring this Cambell within the spirit of the Act. But the most gross & barefaced perjury I am informed has been resorted to. This

Caleb and Enlist into the Revolutionary Army where he remained a few months & then deserted & joined a patriotic band called in that era, "the boy boys" with whom he remained sometime & then returned to & remained with his relatives until the close of the War.
He has sworn that he faithfully served away Honorably discharged from the service, but lost his discharge, &c. &c. When some boys & deserters become blood suckers from our National Treasury it is time that they were detected & punished.
The above may be satisfactorily proved by living witnesses, & Sir, should you think proper address a line to Hugh Henry Esq. of Rockingham Vermont, & and inform you , should you desire it. He will return you the affidavits of Aaron Hale Deviat Earl, Joshua Houghton & others who will most conclusively establish the above facts & upon them you may direct as you think proper Mr Henry is an Able & discreet man who will, if desired by you, without expense to the Government furnish you with the residence  lives near here  affidavits . I have made this communication from a sense of duty which I owe to the Department. Do so which you please.
Respectfully Yr Obed Servt. Lyman B. Matthews
