Miss Sarah M. Dinsmore
508 Centennial Street
New Castle, Pennsylvania 

Dear Madam:

  I advise you that in a report of the Secretary of War printed in 1855, the name of one Samuel Harvey appears on a list of invalid pensioners who had been in receipt of pensions at the Agency of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and whose residence [‘can’ is crossed out] could not be ascertained, in consequence of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814.

  It appears on said list that he served as private in the Revolutionary War and that he received pensions from March 4, 1789 on account of disability.

  This bureau has no further information in regard to said Samuel Harvey, due to the destruction of papers by fire as stated above.

  Very truly yours
 
  E.W. MORGAN
    Acting Commissioner
