Dear Mrs. Lee I hope
Yours like H. Eaton
Her story at least
Was long too late.

Trouble Secretary at War.
Will the Secretary have the goodness to inform me whether Peter Burkstaff  Burk'sdorf or Burk'sdorf is on the New York line of the Revolutionary army. He says he enlisted in Capt. Swartwouts Company Col. Ganssfort. Lieutenant Col. Brillet. Regiment. He says he was at Fort Stanwix at the engagement. He was enlisted in Dutchess County by Lieutenant Henry G or Robert G. Kingston. Should his name not be found will the Secretary forward me instructions as to what evidence is necessary to put him on the Pension roll. He is a farmer and his name may perhaps not have been given up by him in the other of the way above stated but if there is one nearly similar it is probably intended for him.
I am with respect your obed. Servt.
