Sir - I enclose 3 applications for pensions, with the proof etc to substantiate the claims. —
The case of David Enos return d as inadmissible I have taken the liberty to forward again to your office — It is noted on the back that "no one served so long as nine months in 1775" — by recurring to his declaration it will be seen that he states his service to have been from December 1775 to Dec. '76. — The affidavits in support of this case were taken some time since, on the presumption that this being similar to other cases that had been return d for further proof, would also be returned.
Very respect ly
