Sir,
I herewith forward to the department, the affidavit of Samuel Chartier, agreeably to the request of the department of October 23. The department, I presume, will be satisfied that Chartier was in the service, but whether the proof is sufficient, is a question. Few can be aware of the difficulty of providing the requisite proof, especially from a class as poor, as ignorant, and as degraded as the Canadian refugees. Chartier has long been a resident of this County, is poor and honest, and could he obtain the bounty of the government, would get no more than he deserves.
I am, Sir, very respectfully,
Your obed t .
