Dear Sir
I received your letter that you sent to Mr Craig To the honorable gentleman of the pension office I wish to recite to you a few particular things. I will begin at White Plains. How could General Washington have got his army and baggage to Yorktown in Virginia had it not been for the teams? The British held New York and a great part of the Hudson river. How could General Washington have got his balls and shells had it not been for the te- ams? I drawed a load every day from James river to our army which was twelve miles untill Cornwallace sur- rendered. Could there have been any way contrived to have taken Cornwallace had it not been for the te- ams? After Cornwallace was taken Go was taken sick Colonel Levi Wells came to see me, an uncle of mine so- on after that I had a discharge and was put aboard of a vessel. I never saw the captain or one of the company before I enlisted nor I have never seen the captain or one of the company since I was put aboard of the ves- sel. What become of them I know not. I wish that you would be kind enough to show this to president Tyler and see if there is not way that I can get something for my services. I was taken with the rheumatism four years and a half ago and have done no work since either dressed or undressed myself since I drawed rations like other Soldiers and fared as hard as any of them. I wish you would be kind enough to send me the affidavits and decla- -ration that you received of mine. Send them to my Hiland post office. Oneida County, State of New

York. I came from Connecticut into the state of New York -set into what they then called whitestown a little short of fifty four years ago. I was eighty years old the fourteenth day of last april. I am so blind that I cannot see to read or write myself
