I Nathaniel Bouter of Slandick in the County of Cum- berland & Commonwealth of Massachusetts aged sixty five years do declare, that I enlisted in the American Army on the Continental Establishment, on the 13 th day of January A.D. 1781 for three years, under Cap t . Benj Larrabee at Scarboro & marched with the recruits to Boston & passed muster under Colonel Crane & marched to West Point & was turned into Cap t . in the Massachusetts Line Emersons Company in the tenth Regiment under Colonel Tupper in the New Hampshire  Massachusetts Line under Genl. Gates. We were stationed a principal part of the time at West Point, but was marched to Albany & from there to Saratoga & back to Albany & West Point & to Hampshire Hts when I deserted & was discharged on the 8 th day of January A.D. 1782. The reason of my obtaining a discharge at that time, was that I received accounts of the sickness of my wife & hired another man, whose name was George Derricket, to take my place at the same time during the war in the Regiment. — I was discharged by Major Mous- Knapp, as the Colonels had gone home. — I have no pension & from my reduced circumstances in life, I stand in need of assistance from my Country for support. — I am a Citizen of the United States — I had a regular discharge but have since lost it —

NATHANIEL BOULTER S. 36919 BA-J/MMHF:MLB Am
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request photostatic copies of the papers on file in Revolutionary War claim for pension based upon service of Nathaniel Boulter (S. 36919) in that war.
Photostatic copies of such papers are furnished for twenty-five cents a page. The number of pages to be copied is eight.
Remittance should be made by money order drawn to the order of The Treasurer of the United States and mailed to The Veterans Administration, Arlington Building, Washington, D. C.
It may be stated that when the record of this soldier was furnished you April 23, 1936, all papers in this claim for pension were examined very carefully and the data found in regard to service, residences, family, etc., were incorporated in that report. It is always gratifying when these official reports prove to be sufficient, as the documents are very old and brittle, so the extra handling of them for photostatic copies is necessarily injurious to them.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
