Sir -
In answer to your inquiring respecting Capt. Samuel Treat of the Artillery in the War of the Revolution. I have the honor to make the following statement.
On an Army Book stating curtain accounts of the officers of the Revolutionary Army there is an account of Samuel Treat late a Lieutenant in Knox's Artillery where his half-pay is made up for seven years and amounting to [currency symbol] 504. and at the bottom of the account is this Memorandum - "this man not to be certified till it appearing he left wife or children" A faithful and particular search has been made through the records of the Council until 1797 and no evidence found that the half-pay was ever paid to any person.
Your's very respectfully
Edward A Bangs [undecipherable]
