Hon. Secretary at War
In closing I transmit you the declarations of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Brod, and Daniel Coleman formerly secretary of State of New Jersey with the evidence annexed. Hoping that they will be deemed sufficient to entitle each to the benefit of the last pension law I beg leave to draw the early attention of the Department to them & if found sufficient to transmit to me their pension certificates. I beg leave to make an enquiry in relation to two other soldiers of the revolution viz. Benjamin Norman formerly a pensioner but then stricken from the roll on account of having a small property. He made application again two or three years since but was rejected for the same cause. Are his papers on file in the Department? Are the papers of Darby Brann sent to Washington last Jan y a year ago, on file? if so then your sons will be saved a good deal of trouble Another enquiry I have now. What will a midshipman who served one year in the Revolutionary war be entitled to receive under the present act?
