But during a Short absence from his House last fall, some Mischievous boys entered his apartment, broke open his Chest, and feloniously Took therefrom his Two Certificates and destroyed them: Your Petitioner therefore prays the Hon ble Secretary of War to issue to him another Certificate of Pension directing your

Petitioner to be placed on the pension list roll of the Connecticut Agency at the rate of Eight dollars per month. Your Petitioner would further state, He has no earthly means of subsistence but from his Pension, is now in the Dale of years with a broken Constitution and Enfeebled Health; blessed however with an affectionate, but infirm Wife, to smooth the face of Death, and avert the terrors of the Grave.
