Dear Sir
Eastmendon Nov. 11 th 1835
I hope you will not think I am doing wrong in writing you a few lines this day. I saw the letter you wrote to Mr Allen and am greatly disappointed and dissatisfied with the objections made to a just claim and one that was perfectly proven by two living witnesses. Brothers who was with me in service and now draw a pension on the same claim. as to the time of making my application you will I trust remember I wrote to you last spring to know the certainty of my writings being lost which was so stated to Mr T. J. Niven who made out my writings two years ago last June and your answer re as they were lost I and I should send them on again and they should be attended. I wrote to my Brothers but did not get their affidavits soon enough to make out my writing till October October Court as to my age. I was presented to the officers and accepted and passed muster, as it was called I performed duty as a soldier as fair as any one in the army according as I have stated in my application. I was present when a man by the name of Van Gorder came to Mr Niven to make out his writing or application for a pension and by his own statement was not as old as I was who got a certificate and draws a pension if living. I should think a man being young when he turned out in the defence of his Country's rights ought to be rewarded. my Father was a friend to his Country and was willing his sons should go and help defend its rights. I do not know how it is possible that any Gentlemen could think that my claim was not well founded considering the proof good that has been produced of which I think can be no question - as to my credibility if want more proof I can send as much as you will reasonably require if I have written any thing wrong impute it to my ignorance I am no Grammarian as you will readily see - Respectfully
Aaron Dean
Esq.

N B. I hope my case will be reconsidered and you will think I ought to have a pension - if my appli- -cation is not made out according to Law you will please to point out what is wanting A. Dean I will just add Mr Stevens is an Atty at Law in Penn-Gan Yates Co N.Y. a respectable member in the Presbyterian Church with whom I have been acquainted for more than fifteen years who I think will testify to what I have written if called upon with regard to my Application also my Reputation and Stand- -ing in Society - if you require his affidavit you will have it Sent on and also the affidavit of an old Gentleman and an Neighbor who now draws a pension who says he entered the army as a Soldier between the age of twelve & thirteen and that it was Gen. Washingtons orders to receive any young men that could handle fire arms and do duty as a Soldier respectfully yours A. Dean

I should like to get a photostat copy of the application of Aaron Dean for a Revolutionary War pension. This application was made and granted some time in the 1830's, and he was granted, I think, a pension of $30 a year. I do not know anything about his army organization unit or number or anything else about his service except that as a boy of 13 or 14 he served 2 3-month terms in about 1782 or 1783.
If you will let me know the charge for this service I shall be glad to remit promptly.

Dear Sir:
Can you send me the Revolutionary war record of Aaron Dean ? I believe he enlisted at Stamford, Conn. in Dec. 1781 for 3 months, and again in November, 1782.
I don't know just how much information is included in a war "record," but I should like the names of the officers of his regiment, or at least company, if possible.
I understand he was granted a pension in 1835, at the age of 68. Will you kindly verify this and give the date?
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. E. P. Jenkins 25 Mason Street Cherrydale, Va.

Dear Sir:-
Aaron Dean, a private soldier in the Revolutionary War from the state of New York, was granted a pension of $30.00 per annum commencing on March 4th, 1831. I have the original pension certificate which is signed by Lewis Cass, Secretary of War, and J. L. Edwards, Commissioners of Pensions. The certificate does not state the company and regiment to which the soldier belonged.
Aaron Dean was my great-grand-father, and I wish to procure a certified copy of the record, showing his service as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Thinking perhaps this information can be procured from your department, I am writing to you. If the application should have been made to some other office, I would thank you very much to refer this letter to the proper department. I will of course, be glad to pay any charges incident to the procurement of the information desired.
Yours very truly,
JSD/V
