Messrs Webb & Edgcomb, Cortland Village, New York.
Sir:
The declaration of Daniel Castle who applies for pension under the Act of Mch. 18, 1818 has been examined. The service performed by him under Colonel Dubois will not entitle him to pension, as he served only eight months under him, and the above law requires at least nine months' service under one enlistment; nor will his service as a wagoner entitle him to a pension, as they were not provided for by the act under which he claims. The papers will remain on this Office, according to the regulations of this Department.
