Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir;
If practicable I should like to be furnished with an abstract of the service, pension etc. information regarding Private Daniel Lee Green, who enlisted at Falmouth (Portland) Me., on or about 12 April, 1775, in captain David Bradish's company of colonel Phinney's regiment.
If any affidavits or other information already filed an abstract will serve my purpose, especially as to age, residence, promotions etc.
I am respectfully yours
A. W. Seely

Respectfully returned to the Commissioner of Pensions. David Green served in the above organisation until after 1 August, 1775. He is believed to have been the son of John Green of Gorham, Me., who served in the Revolutionary War until a wound compelled his discharge, after which he lived in Scarborough, Me. Possibly the son David may be connected by records with the father. It is believed that DAVID GREEN married twice, but it is probable that the only wife of record in the Pension Office would be Sarah (dau. of Josiah) Brackett , who was a widow of Mr. Wood, when she married DAVID

GREEN, probably at Falmouth(now Portland)Me., Oct. 27, 1776. The date of DAVID GREEN's birth is particularly desired.
Yours truly
