Saratoga Sep. 26. 1851

My Dear Sir;
Some time ago, being called
to Richmond, I obtained from the Auditor's
office a copy of the Muster Note of my
company while attached to the second Elite Corps
which I caused to be set up at the County Ct H. door,
and I then noticed the fact to which you advert
viz. that the roll did not account for much
of the time my company was in service. Previous
to the time of my transfer from the 52nd
Regiment all of which was in service at the
time, I had served with my company some
month or six weeks at Williamsburg and
Providence Forge. Where to find the pay roll
for that portion of the time you will be
better informed than myself. The pay roll
you exhibit makes no mention of the name
of my servant William Short, which you
will find on the muster roll. He is still
alive and is my House servant. Is he
not fairly entitled to take benefit
under the Act of Congress? If so I should be much
pleased if you could procure for him the land.
He is an honest and faithful servant. I have
taken pleasure in referring some persons to you

and shall continue to do so in future.

With great respect
I am Dr. Sir Yrs
John Tyler

There were names on
my company list while
serving at Wmsburg Va that
are not on the roll []
sent me. Their [] at the time of my transfer.

I expect to reach home early in October.
I write with a bad pen and in haste.
