Dear Sir
I am desired to enclose the certificate of the Secy of the Com. of Masts in respect to Services of Glaser Daniels in the militia of that during the Rev. War.
Mr Daniels I believe claims to have served 13 or 14 months. The papers first submitted for him have been lost or mislaid which has occasioned some delay. With those papers was an original evidence of service not contained in the new papers filed. This circumstance which is shown by aff. t of the Lord together with the good character of Mr Daniels who has resided near me & whom I have well known for thirty years induces me to hope that you will feel justified in allowing him for the time he claims.

He is a most worthy & estimable man & in possession of his memory & faculties So fully that I am confident his narration is entitled to belief.
You will however make such allowance as the case will justify & with that he must be content.
I am very truly
Yours A. Mann Jr

Sir
I enclose a amended application of Elias D. Daniels whose original papers with his evidences are lost or mislaid — probably mislaid in the office. It is perhaps impracticable for him now to procure the evidence which was appended to those papers & which were I presume suff- -icient. On this ground you will I trust view the case with some indulgence.
I am well acquainted with Mr Daniels who resides in the adjoining town and he sustains a character above all reproach &c.

ful some solicitude that he should receive the same justice meted out to others as I have not a doubt that he is equally worthy. Let me therefore solicit your most favorable & patient attention to his case. Perhaps his original papers may be found; Respectfully & most truly yours
A. Mann Jr.
