We the undersigned being acquainted with Mr. Abraham Hagar the bearer of this who was a Soldier in the Continental Army by him can be made to appear hereby certify to whom it may concern That he is now poor and in indigent circumstances, in consequence of having to support for many years past a large family by day labour and he is of late so disabled That he can not place that dependance upon his labour for a subsistence That he usually has as will appear by a certificate accompanying this paper, we therefore give it as our opinion that said Hagar is in justice intitled to all the emoluments of Government made and provided for the relief of indigent Soldiers.
