Sir:-
I am very anxious to get the war history and record of Capt. James Green, a captain in the Revolutionary army who was in the battle of Saratoga and was one of the captains in the second Richmond Knight horse militia under Major Elijah Hyde of Lebanon. I am informed that he was pensioned and was a pensioner from Hartford, Conn. in 1832. From the records in your office can you give me any data regarding his disability, time of service or army records? I shall be pleased to pay for this service and will do so at once upon advise of amount.
Thanking you in advance I remain,
