Simpson, William                 Pen. 384                      1785  
Soldier-6th Virginia Regiment

  On examination of Wm. Simpson find a ball has entered his left side just 
before the ribbs and having never been extracted the wound now discharges and as 
he says frequently has large collections of matter having totally clotted for 
days at a time.  This ___ may be the same and much no doubt disable him in some 
measure upon labouring hard; the only mode on which he says he can obtain a 
living--am therefore of opinion that he ought to have some allowance from the publick.

      The above soldier was a soldier in the 6th Virginia Regiment and was 
wounded at the Battle of Saratoga.
