Unbound. Condition: Near Fine. Holograph document. Approximately 8" x 3". Laid paper. Old folds, a little ink splatter, near fine. A request by Captain Samuel Comstock of the 8th Connecticut Regiment at Camp Short Hills, to deliver to the bearer "his proportions of state stores on hand as he has not had any." Endorsed by Nath[an…ial]. Lewis noting that he received two pounds of sugar and a pound of coffee. Comstock was commissioned as captain in the regiment in 1777 and a brevet to major in 1783. He served in Long Island, the Battle of Germantown during the defense of Philadelphia, the Siege of Fort Mifflin, and the Battle of Monmouth. He also commanded a company at Valley Forge. Lewis was probably a sergeant in Comstock's company, and appears to also have served in the French and Indian War.
