Tilden's statement on the lower part of the front side of this page states that "This may certify that Doct. Ji--- S. Berry has served as surgeon at this Post three Weeks as surgeon." On the other side of this page is a statement signed by Z. M. Pike stating that "The Asst. D. Q.M. will discharge this within account." This folder contains a holograph document signed by Rufus Tilden, stating that "Being destitute of a Surgeon at this Post and the Troopes being sickley and consequently in Want of one, I do agree to imploy Doct. Ji--- S. Berry to Serve as Surgeon at this Post untill we are furnished with one at the rate of twenty five Dollars per month." Tilden wrote and signed this at Salmon River, French Mills, on 10 July 1812, and then added a second signed statement below it on 7 Aug. 1812.
