Sir,
The claim of David Burd to a pension has been examined and I have to state that it is inadmissible. The law under which he claims requires the service to have been on the Continental establishment, there having been no Col. Treddle belonging to the Continental troops. His declaration will remain on the files of this Office, agreeably to our regulations.
I am &c.
