Madam:

In reply to your letter of the 7th instant, you are advised that a careful search of the records fails to show that a claim for pension was filed on account of service of Major Joseph Lane of the Georgia Troops, War of the Revolution.

Warrant No. 1325 for four hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 5, 1790 or 1791 on account of his services but there is no further data on file relative to him owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

For the location of said land you should apply to the General Land Office, Washington, D.C. citing all of the above data.

Very respectfully,

(Signature)

Commissioner.
