Sir
The papers sent to this Department by you in support of the claim of William Carlisle have been examined and placed on our files. The act for the relief of Revolutionary soldiers extends to none who served for a shorter period than nine months, and as it appears from our rolls that he enlisted for and served only eight months, his claim is of course rejected. The affidavits in relation to his service cannot be admitted as evidence, the credit of a record being always considered greater than the testimony of witnesses.
I am very respectfully Your Ob t Serv t . J. L. Edwards

The Hon. the Secretary of War,
In accompanying this is the proof of service declaration of William Carlile of this place, claiming to be placed on the Pension list for his services in the war of the Revolution. He states he has been unfortunate, not before this being able to find the witnesses to prove his service, and if not contrary to the rules established by the department, prays to have his pension commence at as early a day as would be just and right.
