The appreciation is properly made to their Office but all the Books + papers having been destroyed by Fire on the 8th, the issue of land warrants has necessarily ceased: should it recommence public notice thereof will be given.

oath that he never has received a warrant for Military bounty land due him from the United States for Military services in the late revolutionary war neither had ever made application asking by a letter addressed to Mr. Wolcott late secretary of the Treasury signed by Simeon Hart; nor has in anyway whatever conveyed his claim to any person sworn before me.
