That I served as a Soldier in the United States army in the Revolutionary war against the common enemy.

I am now sixty eight years of age and totally unable to labour being broken bodied which occasioned my discharge from service when I left the army. I am poor and by reason of my reduced circumstances have no means of assistance from my property for support. Living on a retired place & not taking any new paper & being unable to read I was not informed of the late law of the United States making provision for the old soldiers, entitled after days-ago.
