Mrs. Hallie S. Snead,
Gulfport, Mississippi.

Madam: -

In response to a personal inquiry on the twenty-sixth instant relative to "Clement Read" of the Revolution, you are advised that the papers on file in this Bureau show that one
Sion S. Read of Murfreesborough, Tennessee in 1834, stated that he was the administrator for and one of the heirs of his grandfather Colonel Clement Read deceased, of the Virginia Line.

As there are no dates of enlistment and discharge, or particulars of service stated, no claim was ever allowed, and there is no further information obtainable from this Bureau.

Very respectfully,

G. M. Salzgaber [illegible]
Commissioner.
