Sir
New Windsor O.C. April 30 th 1818
I enclose to you eighteen applications for pensions agreeably to the late act of Congress, and I hope you will find them to answer the purpose intended. Having served in the line of the Army the whole of the Revolution and War, I think I understand the nature of the claims, therefore have acted as cautiously as I could, for the applications have some what exceeded the calculations first made, the method I have adopted, for examination I hope will meet your approbation, those I know are entitled are marked and the rest, may be doubtful, but they are all in absolute want - as to myself the a Judge of the Courts, I am embarrassed, and a large family, and really stand in need of my Country for support - after having devoted Eight years of the prime of my life, and an excellent constitution to its service
I shall esteem it a favor of you to write early Mail, and enclose the names of those who are put on the pension list - with respecting them

I have, with enclosures, and any other information you may please to complement - will be the thankful received
I am Sir with due consideration Yr Obt Serv-
