Several times I have troubled you in regard to my recruiting account, but never was so happy as to get an answer — The account of the 4th Regiment is in your Office — I can procure a Certificate from Colonel Farmer that I have sent a number of Recruits to the State Regiments — the account being lost I do not know how to proceed but shall wait your directions, which will be of infinite service to Your Obt Sert

Dr Sir.
Inclosed are two Certificates which I request you will examine and see if either of them are of the Quota of the Troops of Penna, as I have not a list of Armands Corps, to which, from the Nos I believe they must have Belonged — if you find either of them of Penna by you will endorse it. If not of this State perhaps they are of N York
Yours &
