Full Description:
Edward Winslow to Carleton. New York. Memorial. Is 70 years of age and late of Massachusetts Bay. On his arrival in this garrison in December 1781 with one daughter and a servant, he was not only allowed a pension from the government but one ration and a half of provisions, fuel for two fires and candles. Has not received these since last September. His family being enlarged by the arrival of another daughter and a 'negro' boy, and he himself having had a severe fit of sickness, begs orders for the payment of the fuel and rations as previously and such additional allowance as may seem just.
