Dear Sir. Eros Dewey a Soldier of the Revolution. is trying to collect Evidence Sufficient to Entitle him to draw a Pension. And if it is not improper, will you allow me to ask some few questions. for the purpose of getting proof. Dewey says he Enlisted. for three years. cant Remembe the month but knows it was in the Spring of the year and also knows it was the last year of the war. Says he Enlisted under Capt. Starr of Middletown in Connecticut. About two months after he Enlisted he was ordered to march to West Point. where he - did duty as a Soldier nearly one year. Says the Regiment to which he was united. was commanded by Colonel Campfield. Says General Mc Dougall had the command at West Point. all the time he was there. Says. he Received his discharge at the time he left. but. has since lost it. Says at the same time that he was Stationed at West Point. there was a Col. Swift who had command of another Regiment. &c. &c. Now if not contrary

To your Rules will you allow me to ask you if there is any Rolls or other proof in your office that can be made proof in the application of this worthy old soldier. Any thing that will be your pleasure to give will be received with the thanks of by a good old man

Sir.
The heirs of Enos Dewey who was an Applicant for a pension under the Act of June 7. 1832, have during the past year received circulars from New York, New Haven and Washington, - three from Washington, - from persons proposing to act as Agents to procure a pension that was due Enos Dewey.
The within circular from Willis G. Wade is a specimen.
Enos Dewey died several years since and his heirs knew but little of his claim for a pension, except that he made application therefor, and that it was rejected.
I am desired to obtain for them an abstract of the papers on file in your office, that they may adopt means to procure the amount, if any, that may be due to them in the right of Enos Dewey.
Your early reply will oblige his heirs, and Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, Henry R. Mygatt.
J. C. Heath Esq. Commissioner of Pensions.
