Wm Cullen on the sole No 8884

Tacoma N. York August 12 th 1835.
Sir, Mr. William Cartter has requested me to write to the War department relative to his revolutionary claim .
It appears that Mr. Cartter was placed on the pension roll of New York for 8 Months service in Col. Danielson's regiment in 1775, in the State of Massachusetts, at $40 per year - for which he holds a certificate issued 2 nd May 1833. in conformity with the law of the U.S. of the 7 th June 1832. He drew his pension to the 4 th March 1835. Upon making application to the Agent of the U.S. for paying pensions in the City of Albany, for the arrearage due him on the 4 th March last, was informed that he was suspended & struck from the pension roll at Washington and that he must again apply to the pension office. If suspended, he wishes to be informed the occasion of it, that he may take such further steps as shall be required at the department to be re-enstated. Will you have the goodness to give the information solicited.
It also appears by your letters of the 23 rd July and 1 st August inst. that the affidavits of Nathaniel Remond & Enoch Prick & William Cartter (by which Mr. Cartter is desirous to establish his claim to 4 Months additional service) are insufficient - He will thank you to return to me those affidavits so as to enable him to correct their insufficiency, if possible, and to supply such additional proof as may be required at the pension office.
I am respectfully Your obed Servt. Henry Page

Sir,
Yours of the 23 rd inst., enclosing the letter of William Cartter and the affidavit of Nathl. Remaine is rec d .
On the 17 th July last Mr. Cartter forwarded to the department the affidavit of Enoch French together with his own affidavit, for the purpose of establishing his claim for two months' service in the fall of 1776, under Capt. John Kelley in a regiment commanded by Col. John Morely. It appears by the letter of Bro. M c Crump Esq., acting Comr. of Pensions, bearing date July 23 rd 1836, that these affidavits were not satisfactory to the department - it not appearing from the affidavits to whom care the testimony was applicable. Mr. Cartter will thank you to return to me those affids - so that he may have their inaccuracy corrected.
In my letter of the 12 th inst. Mr. Cartter solicited information from the department in relation to his suspension or being stricken from the pension roll for 8 months, since under Capt. Markam Parks in Col. Danielson's Regt. in 1775. He will thank you again to refer to the inquiry mentioned in that letter, and, if consistent with the duties of the department, give him the information solicited. He can not reconcile the refusal of the agent in Albany to pay the arrearage of his pension due on the 4 th March last, on the ground of his suspension , with the latter portion of your letter of the 23 rd inst.

By yours of the 14 th April last, you say "The claim of William Cartter (It should be Cartter) May be allowed for Nine Months & 26 days, and that, if he will return his former certificate to your office, a New one will be issued for him & the agent will be directed to pay him at the rate above mentioned"
Mr. Cartter thinks he ought to be allowed for a longer period, but hopes he must be content.
Enclosed is his original certificate, for the period as above. He has not (as I pre- sume is known at your office) received a any pay from the Agent since the 4 th day of March 1835. He expects to receive pay from that time for Nine Months & 26 days, and will thank you for instruction in relating to this.

Understanding that records of Soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War, are kept by the Pension Bureau, or some department under its direction, would ask that (if such be the case) I be favored with the War Record, time, and place of enlistment of one John Coates and W m Cartter, ancestors of

men who served in the War 1776. I am not positive that Carters name was the , but have been told by relatives that they believed it to be, also that he was an Officer, and that this particular family spelled their name with - two L's
I think they enlisted from Massachusetts, but possibly from district of Maine. If the Pension Department is not the proper place for this information please advise me where to get the same.
An early reply will be very thankfully received.
Respectfully,
Mrs James D. Phelps, Windsor Locks. Conn.
