time spoke of the movements of the army to which he was attached as well as the names of the various officers under whom whom he served the from the great loss of time since his death and from old age she is unable to recite many of the particulars of his service and for full proof of service she would refer the Hon Department to the muster rolls of the Maryland line upon which she feels confident his name will be found enrolled on said line

very respectfully y rs ,
