Dear Sir,
W. H. [unclear]

Utica, New York, July 6 th 1827.
Hon. Sir,
Your favour of the 28 th ult. has come to hand. In reply, I am able to state that my Father, Josiah Bartlett, was a native of Massachusetts, and resided in the Town of New Braintree, Worcester County of that state, both before and after the war of the Revolution, and, I presume, served in the line of that state. I find by his letters that he was at the battles of Still Water, Brandy Wine, Monmouth.
His Pension was obtained in 1817 or 1818. through the agency of a Mr. Henry Wells, atty at Law, in the town of Bath, County of Stubin in this State.
I hope, Sir, these facts will enable you to furnish the requisite information to, Sir,
Your obedt. Humbl. Servt M c R. Bartlett Hon. James Barbour.
