To the Hon. Lewis Cass Secretary at War,
Sir, In compliance with the rules of the War Department, I herewith transmit my pension certificate obtained under the act of March the 18. 1818. I further state in compliance with said rules, that I first enlisted in the town of Brimfield in the state of Massachusetts in the month of January 1776. with Captain Lyman as a private in Col. Porter's Regiment and was marched to Canada where I served one year and was then discharged. I afterwards enlisted as a private for three years some time in the year 1777. in the town of Springfield in the County of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts and served in the fifth regiment Massachusetts line commanded by Col. Nutman in the company of Captain Shay; after serving under that enlistment about one year I re-enlisted in the same regiment during the war. During the first year of my enlistment as a during war man I was promoted to the rank of sergeant in the company of Captain Shipple in the same regiment, and served during the remainder of the war as a sergeant, (about five years) and was discharged at Newburgh in the state of New York on the tenth day of June 1783 at the time when I was discharged I belonged to the company of Captain Felt in the same regiment. I reside in the town of Madison in the county of Madison in the state of New York and have continued to reside there ever since my first application for a pension under the act of Congress of the 18. of March 1818.
I am Sir, with great respect your ob t serv t

Hon. Commissioner, Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
Will you please send to me full information concerning the military record or history of Israel Bond! He was granted a pension while residing in Madison County, New York State, in 1831.
I find that this record is very necessary, regarding my ancestry, in my application to the Sons of the American Revolution for membership.
Thanking you in advance, I remain, very respectfully yours, Edwin M. Bond.

Israel Bond was in the roll under act of 1818. applied under act of '32 as Seaf. but was found to be a private and by a blunder his certificate for '95 $ was filed down & one for 80 $ issued. He must now be restored to act of 1818 and pay him the difference - G.W.C.
Mr. Stuart -
