J. L. Edmonds Esq.
Sir
I have recently rec d . from the Hon. O. Root your letter to him of Feb y . 25. 1839 relating to the application of Lydia Chapman of this town for a pension under the act of July 7 th 1838.
In that letter you say, "The several terms of service should be submitted to the Secretary and Comptroller, and their respective certificates obtained as to any evidence afforded by the records of their offices which confirm or discredit each." The tenure by which he held the grade of Ensign should be shown and supported as the rules require.
I have the honor now to forward you the Certificate of the Comptroller of this State showing that Capt. Sol. Willis served in 1786 two months in Col. Douglass Regiment, also that Capt. Peckham rendered his account for services in Col. Sayer's Regiment, which account was finally settled April 3. 1779 embracing the time the applicant claims her husband Asahel Chapman served a period of two, and of eight months.
Since the inception of your letter above alluded to, the applicant has fortunately found among the antient papers of her husband the Commission of Asahel Chapman her husband under date of October 27. 1776 which I herewith enclose.
Should any further proof be necessary will thank you to notify me without delay and I will try to furnish whatever may be deemed necessary to support the claim of the applicant.
I would respectfully call your attention to this matter immediately, as the applicant has now been so long deferred. She begins to think her claims entirely forgotten. While some of her acquaintances are enjoying the bounty of her government, and from her present ill health she cannot long remain to realize the fulfilment of her expectations. —
I am Sir with sentiments of high consideration Yours truly
Forest P. Waldo
P.S. Should you have occasion to write me soon please direct to Hartford where I am to remain a few weeks as a member of the Assembly. —
