Sir
In reply to your letter of the 25 th ult o I would remark that I think I recollect M r A. G. Hammond occasionally in the course of the Revolutionary war, particularly in the character of a guide to our Detachments on the lines in the County of West-Chester — I have examined my Regimental Books, & have also consulted one of the Officers of our Reg t . (Moor Gibbs) who served in Capt. Hoaglands Company, in which M r Hammond was, that he served, & I am constrained to say that we never had an Officer of his name in the 2 d Reg t . L t . Dragoons — I am your most Obed t . Serv t . M r D. D. D. ————— Benj nt Tallmadge —————
