Sir your communication of the 13 th July respecting the Mortgage Deed, I did not receive until the sixth day of the present month. — I now send you an authenticated Copy of the Deed; and would state also, that the bond for which I gave this Mortgage, I have paid, and for no other reason than being unable to pay for it — The person of whom I purchased died soon after, and the payments becoming due one after another, and I being in debt for borrowed money, and having no means in my power by which I could meet those demands, I was compelled to sell — I have two sons upon a hired farm. — Am living with them — They support me in part. Being old and infirm, and unable to do much labour, I shall not be able to support my self but a little longer — This induces me to seek for relief from that government which I revere — which I have cheerfully and faithfully laboured to establish, and for which I have sincerely suffered — I am Sir yours with esteem

We the subscribers being well acquainted with the within named Moses Hatch who has resided in Winchester for more than Twentyfive years past would beg leave to observe that he is an honest upright & industrious man and although fortune has frowned upon him & he is poor yet his character for truth & veracity & his respectable demeanor has insured to him a respectable character wherever he is acquainted In addition to his low circumstances he has a poor nictety & almost helpless child to support — which child is 28 years of age & three feet 3 inches high only his exploits during the seven years service in which he was engaged in an revolutionary struggle which we have most of us often heard related from his own lips (the correctness of which we have no reason to doubt) richly entitled him to the approbation of his commander in Chief which was signally bestowed in his discharge at the close of the War which original discharge we are inform is now in the War office for wounds with his first Pension — And we would further state in our opinion that there is no man in our acquaintance who so richly deserves to be placed on the pension list as the aforesaid Moses Hatch Winchester 29 Nov r . 1821
