Amasa L. Wilson for Paul H. Hildman

To The Honorable Samuel D Ingham Secretary of the Treasury.
The case of Paul Haasman or as he otherwise spells his name Paul Hoasman is respectfully submitted to your favorable notice. Owing to his great age and failing memory all the facts necessary to make his case clear could not be elicited from him. He has been long reputed a revolutionary Soldier and to have suffered much from ill treatment by the Indians in his Captivity. He must have belonged to the Pennsylvania line. He is at present in great want, and relies much upon the public records at Washington and the favorable disposition of the present Cabinet towards revolutionary Soldiers for obtaining the reward of his services and sufferings.
It is not improbable from the early period of his enlistment and his subsequent Captivity that his name may not appear on the Rolls. If so and the Department would suggest to me what further proof might be necessary, it is possible he could furnish it. He was marched to New York and very possible belonged to Colonel Lamb's regiment of Artillery. Early information on this subject will very much oblige
Very respectfully
Your Obedt Servt.
