Sir: -
John Daniels was born in Mendon Worcester County Mass in 1755. He served in the Revolutionary War, was honorably discharged, and in 1803 settled in Plainfield N.H. where he resided until his death in 1833. I am advised that he drew a pension as a Revolutionary Soldier. This John Daniels was my Mother's great grandfather and I would be greatly obliged if you would give me such facts and data concerning his service as you can gather from the records of the Pension Department.
If there is a charge for this service be kind enough to advise me and I will make prompt remittance.
