Madam:-
In response to your letter of the eighth instant, you are advised that in the volume of the American State Papers which is entitled Claims, Class 9, on page 90, it appears on the list of invalid pensioners examined by the Judge of the District Court of Connecticut, that Nathan Bradley of Fairfield Connecticut, a Private of Colonel Webb's regiment, enlisted August 1, 1777, and was discharged April 24, 1780, and while at the Storming of Stony Point, in jumping over the abatis, was struck in the heel and leg and badly wounded, causing lameness. There is no further data on file relative to said soldier, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800, and when the British burned Washington, in 1814.
Very respectfully,
J. M. [unclear] Commissioner.

Dear Sir -
I am trying to trace the record of service of Nathan Bradley, a soldier in the Revolutionary War, who enlisted from Conn. and I am not sure whether he was from Litchfield Co., or Fairfield Co. but I think he was from Fairfield Co. Can you assist me in any way? I wish to know if he ever drew a pension. He was wounded at the storming of Stony Point, while trying to jump over the abatis, as he was one of the men who volunteered to go ahead that night, up into the fort. I am sending one dollar as I am told that is the charge for looking

up the record. If it is mine please advise me of the same.
Yours very truly
Mrs. John Snell.
