Woodbury October 16 th 1820
Sir
You will remember that the first application by Dan Chalfield was not drawn quite in conformity with your forms, & by mistake was dated in March whereas the application was actually made in March April as appears by a minute made on my book at the time. And after the application had been sent backwards & forwards, a great number of times until every objection seemed to be removed & the application itself had become so worn & obliterated that it was hardly legible, you returned it with a blank indorse, requiring it to be drawn over in the blank & also requiring a certificate from me when the first application was made. The new draft was therefore made in exact conformity to your requirement & my certificate was added as you directed certifying in effect

upon terms that the first application was made on the 17 th Day of March A D 1818 as you will see by taking the trouble to examine it. As to the original draft, I took no pains to prepare it any more than I should any other waste paper & cannot at this moment lay my hands upon it but perhaps I may & if so, I will immediately forward it to you if required.
As to designating the time to which the Regi- ment belonged, it is absolutely impossible with the views which the applicant & the witnesses have on the subject for they all suppose it belonged to no time that it was raised promiscuously & raised annexed to any time but was called the Longs Regiment . They are however misinformed men & may be mistaken on this subject. If so you will know & of course will know what the line Col. Hays Regiment belonged to, but surely a good man will not lose the benefit of his pension for a mistake of this sort. If this is to be an objection it is quite unfortunate that it had not been made in an

earlier stage of the business before the poor wretched applicant had expended so much time & given himself so much trou- ble & had his expectations so highly raised for he has never pretended from the first application until now, to be able to state every line to which he belonged Yours for yours with respect Nathaniel Smith
