Doctor Samuel Hale declares that his Commission as Surgeon's mate of Col o Timothy Beebe's Regiment is lost or destroyed, to supply which defect I am furnished with & have enclosed a ration roll of the field, staff & commissioned Officers of said Regiment wherein Samuel Hale's name is entered as Surgeon's mate, and it is within my own knowledge that he is now languishing on the bed of sickness, having been attacked with a paralytic affection from which he is not likely to recover, & that he is wholly destitute of property & dependant on the charity of his friends for support. —
