  This is to certifie that James Hamilton of Capt. Pattrick Bucchannan's Company 
of Militio and Col. Sampson Matthew's Regiment or Core (Corps?) aged 30 years 
when commanded by General Neulenberg at the Battle of Hol Watten? received two 
wounds in his legg which fractured both the tibia and fibula and notwithstanding 
all the necessary precautions that could be taken by internal and external means 
it hath rendered him a proper invalid and unfitt for duty.  Given under my hand
