Mr. A. H. Jacobs,
Civil War Division.
Bureau of Pensions.

Sir:

In response to your personal request of this day, you are advised that records show that a Warrant numbered 584 issued January 19, 1793 for 300 acres of Bounty land, on account of the services of one Richard Dorsey a Captain of Maryland troops in the War of the Revolution.

The above is the only Richard Dorsey (D'Arcy) found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau and there is no further information concerning him.  for the reason that the papers relative to said claim are not on file, the same having been destroyed by the burning of the War Office in 1800.

Very respectfully,

G. M. Saltzgaber.
Commissioner.
