Sir
Yours aff Jany 7th 45
I have the honor to re- turn you the petition & papers of Saml. J. Camp which would appear if rightly decyphered to be founded upon alleged service in the Company of Capt. Betts of Col. Butlers regt. Connietical Line -
It does not appear by our files that the petitioner has ever formally asserted a claim before this Dept. altho if he really served as set forth he might have been enjoying a pension since 1818 - The pension laws amply provide for all service rendered in the land or naval forces of the revolution amounting to 6 months and the rules adopted for their adjustment bear the impress of a liberality corresponding with  which the object & spirit of the laws - If this petitioner served in the Connietical Line, he should assert his claim agreeably  under to these rules - The rolls of that Line are

full & compleat, His name is not borne on any roll of Capt Betts nor on the roll of any Regt in which Butler was Lt. Col. or Col.

My dear Sir
He enclosed the parcel of Sam. G. Coombs of the City of New York - He says he is entitled to a pension. He had not opened his package consequent of knowing nothing of his claim - He professes to have done great service during the war of the Rebellion and to have spent a large sum of money for the Country - Mr Coombs is very aged and respectable in his appearance -
Will you do me the favor to inform me if he is entitled to a pension, and return me his parcel?
With respect
Yours obedt Servt Phillip P. Phelan
