(bill of sale, Porter-Phelps-Huntington Papers, Box 4, Folder 15); Sezor was sent to fight in 1776 and sent this letter to Phelps: "Camp at Ticontoroga, Sept the 30 ye 1776, Sir I take this oppertunity to Enform you that I dont Entend to Live With Capt Cranston if I Can helpit and I Would Be glad if you Would Send me a letter that I may git my Wagers for I have not got any of my Wagers and I Want to know how all the Folks Do at home and I Desire yor Prayers for me While in the Sarves and if you Determin to Sel me I Want you Shud Send me my Stock and Buckel. So no more at Present But I Remain your Ever Faithful Slave, Sezor Phelps" (Porter-Phelps-Huntington Papers, Box 4, Folder 12)
