Agreeably to your request of this day I have examined the Records of the War Office and of this, and cannot find that Doc. George Schreffner is returned in either— I have also appealed to the Accounts of the paymaster of Pulaskie's Lyon— he does not appear there. neither does his name appear on any Muster Role of that Legion in my Possession. the Corps appears to have had, and legally Mustered, One Surgeon & one Surgeon Mate, [strikethrough: more than th] who continued to the dissolution of that Corps. more than there was not authorised by any Act of the late Congress— I conceive his claim is not well founded—
I am with great respect,
Sam.
