Can you give me the age of this Clark, the name of his father and mother and the place of his residence in the State of Connecticut and the name of his regiment and commanding officer etc. If you can do this it will be much appreciated.
Respectfully Yours

Sir, The application of Israel Clark, of this place, for a Pension was enclosed with the other applications & directed to your office The other applications from this county were allowed and returned. From the circumstances of Israel Clark's case being not only made out in due form, but also and the evidence of his disability being more apparent than in some of the other cases allowed, I have supposed that either the paper of evidence miscarried, or that the appearance of his pension being continued, was mislaid and not forwarded with the others. I enclose a second copy of his evidence, and desire, in his behalf, that the result may, as soon as convenient may be transmitted.
Your very obedient Servt.
