To the Honourable John C. Calhoun Secretary of War of the United States of America.
The undersigned having enlisted in the fall of 1775 and having served in Capt. Sull's company of the 3 d Regiment Pennsylvania line commanded by Colonel Cadwallader between 10 and 12 months and having again enlisted in the continental service in the year 1780 and served in the company commanded by Capt.

Lambert Cressweller was Lieut. Col. of one of the Pennsylvania Reg'ts that was taken with the reg't at Fort Washington. It was the 3 d Penns. Cor. nia Reg't.
I knew Capt. Weyman of the 2 d Reg't of New Jersey line commanded by Col. Shreve.
No men were enlisted in the Continental Reg't to serve for nine months only. — New Jersey however, on the requisitions of Congress to fill up the reg'ts sent men to serve in the Jersey Brigade. All men who served, must be considered, during such service also incorporated, as being on service, on Continental establishment.
I have no doubt of William Bateman, being entitled to the benefit of the Lawdy vs. Northwick.
