Mrs. Lillie B. Berry 
Flower Hospital, 
New York City, N. Y. 

Madam:  I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 2707 for 150 acres of bounty land was issued April 15, 1799 to Oliver and Elizabeth Sproul, the only children and heirs, on account of the services of Ensign James Sproul of the New Jersey Line, War of the Revolution. 

There is no further information on file as to his services or family and the dates and places of his birth and death are not on record, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800. 

Respectfully, 
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
