Sir,
November 6 th 1820
In the case of Joseph Dickerman, the documents being found insufficient, are herewith returned. The evidence of J. Van Wart is not sufficiently explicit, nor is that of John Free; the commencement of service under the first and second enlistments as well as the end thereof should be particularly proved. each term by two credible & disinterested persons. If he enlisted as a regular soldier to serve to the end of the war, after the two years service, it should be so stated in the declaration made by the applicant, together with the line, regiment and company. It would appear that his last service was as a guide which is not provided for by law.
I am Sir
Your Obed. Servt.

Mr. Dickman must get John Linn's Affidavit stating his services precisely as it is stated in the Declaration if he assents to it - that he entered in January 1776 and served one year - Another affidavit to the same fact must be procured, and then the Judges' signature must be proved by the certificate of the County Clerk -

I again forward the Declaration of Joseph Dickerman with the accompanying Affidavits of Service it will be observed that he made his Application while an Inhabitant of Greenwich he has since removed to Easton an adjoining Town in this County and resided there when the Affidavits of Tice & Hitchcock were taken. He claims a pension for services rendered in 1776 in Colt's Buildings Company not being enabled to prove his subsequent Service by any person but Tice when the papers were returned for the Original declaration I had no doubt but a pension Certificate would have been immediately forwarded to have drawn from the date of that declaration you have now the Affidavits of Tice & Hitchcock of the Commencement and Termination of some Years Service which is sufficient to establish his claim unless more is required than the Acts of Congress ever contemplated. I forward the first Affidavits of Van Wirt & Tice though perhaps not necessary.
