Sir
Enclosed are papers in the case
of Mr. Archibald McClellan - an
applicant for Pension under the act of
1832, and in my vision a very mischievous
claim. I feel a strong desire
that this case should be investigated
and the decision of the Pension office
thereon communicated to me with as little
delay as may be consistent with the
demands upon the office
Very respectfully
yours
WB Maclay
to
J. Edwards Esq
Commission of Pensions

Sir
I desire to withdraw the papers filed
by me in the case of Mr McClellan of South
Carolina, asking a pension for services in the
Revolution as it is not the intention of the
parties to urge it before the Department
I am very respectfully
Sir
Your Obt Servt

*The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800" which are 

registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent dates.

Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November 9, 1800.

Information concerning warrants surrendered to the Federal Government is to be found in General Land Office records in The National Archives.
