Sir.
New York August 27 th 1828
I have the honor to transmit for your decision the claim of Michael Hickman. The fact of his having been a soldier in the continental line of the Army is attested by two persons who served as Soldiers, in the Army and were well acquainted with the claimant.
As this Man was detailed to serve in the waggon train it is possible his name may not be borne on the Rolls of the Regiment. In the Reg. a I served in several men were on that duty a considerable portion of the Revolutionary War. I am not positive however that their names were borne on the Rolls - or that they were reported in the first instance as being attached to the Department of the Quarter Master General.
I am Sir
with great esteem
Your Obedient Servant
Wm H Morris
