Mrs. Edward W. Howlett,

Pontiac, Michigan.
Madam;
August 5, 1914.
In response to your undated letter in reference
to Theophilus Goodyear, you are advised that as the papers were burned in consequence of the destruction of papers of the War Department in 1801 and 1814, there is nothing on file in this Bureau relative to said soldier.
Your attention is invited to the "American State
Papers" class 9, claims, page 88, which shows that Theophilus Goodyear was wounded in the back October, 1776, at White Plains, that he enlisted April 1, 1777, for the war as Corporal in Colonel Meigs' regiment, and was an invalid pensioner residing at Reading.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Tieman
Acting Commissioner.
