State of Connecticut Comptroller's Office Hartford Nov. 9 th 1855
I certify that on application for evidence of the service of Samuel Bastow in Col. Hosford's Regiment in the war of the Revolution in 1776, I have examined the documents remaining in this office and find the name of Samuel Bastow on a list of soldiers on file in this office headed as follows, viz "List of Capt. James Pines's Company in Lt. Col. Hosford's Regiment, that marched by order to East Chester to join General Washington's Army."
No time is credited on the above mentioned list, and no Pay Roll for the service of said Company is found in this office, but from documents it appears that Col. Hosford was appointed Lt. Col. at the May Session of the General Assembly 1776, and his Regiment is believed to have served for several months during the year 1776.

Dear Sir,
After the receipt of yours of this date I made search among my papers & found the application of Lucina Burstow which I enclose. I trust you will give it an early examination. I believe there is no doubt of the justice of the claim, Lucius J. Hamble, Clerk of Probate, is well known to me & I can vouch for the genuineness of the papers.

Herewith I hand you the papers of Mrs Lucina Burstow who makes application for the continuance of her late husbands pension. You will do me the favour of sending it to the pension office & when granted inclose me the certificate. If any thing further is wanted I will furnish it on being notified of what it may be.
Our Legislature is now in session & the Governor's message is published. He recommends the work of destruction in its fullest sense. But I can hardly think with our small majorities as this have in each house they will likely be able to carry all the measures the message recommends. Time will shortly develop what will be done & then we shall see what we shall see —
I am in receipt of the papers relating to Mr Bowers's application & thank you for him for your kind attention to his business.
