Honorable Sir
I take the liberty to enclose you my application for pension. I had sent it to the war department. Sir, Col. Bouch meander of Congress from our said County, and it was returned with the following objections viz that my name did not appear on the Roll of Wiltshire Regiment in which I had alleged to have served, your Honor will perceive in my my statement, with regard to the Regiment of Wiltshire that it is stated as I understood, the fact is I had no objection of any field officers to which the company belonged, for there was none in Schokarie at that time that I have any association of the Wiltshire field officers, the next objection is against the affidavits hav- ing been taken before a commission. I therefore thought that it was and would be considered as lawfull before one officer as an other, being then under legally autho- rized by law, the affidavits are now taken before a justice of the peace for further information your honor will be pleased to have the goings to all on the Honorable Mr. Van Buren please to let me now the result The Hon. Lewis Capps { yours very Respectfully Henry Hager
