Dear Madam:

      Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War, Charles Stewart, William, Isaac, John, Caleb, and Robert Stewart,  all of Maryland,  and Joseph Nevitt and John Nevitt.

      Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of the war.

      The record of Charles Stewart of Maryland is furnished you herewith as found in the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S.15656,  based upon his military service in that war.         

                                           Very truly yours



                                            A. D.  Hiller
                                           Executive Assistant
