Concord N. H. Dec. 9 th 1842
Sir,
Josiah Chandler of Grafton N. H. is a pensioner under the Act of 10 th March 1818 at the rate of $8. per month. He was previously on the Invalid pension list at the same rate, which he was advised to relinquish and did relinquish for the purpose of being placed on the pension list of 1818. He is now very poor & helpless and has desired me to ask you if he may be restored to his Invalid pension and still continue to draw his present pension.
The first pension being granted him for wounds and disabilities received in the army and the latter for services rendered, leads him to hope that he is entitled to both.
He was first placed on the invalid list January 29 th 1816 to commence May 29. 1816. Annual allowance $30. April 24 th  1826 increased to $40. His hip and leg have finished for which he drew the Invalid pension in the Court-line. An answer from you in this case will be gratefully received by an old Revolutionary Soldier and a Soldier in the late War.
Very respectfully Your At te Serv t
