Mrs. Jennie Bridges,
Post Office box 405,
Bethany, Missouri.
Madam:
In response to your letter dated the tenth instant, you are advised that the only Elijah Evans found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, was allowed a grant of 300 acres of bounty Land on account of his services as a Captain of the Maryland Troops, on a Warrant numbered 673 issued May 25, 1789.
There is no further information in this Bureau concerning him, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War office.
For the location of said land, application should be made to the commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D.C. giving the data stated above.
Very respectfully,
G M Saltzgabor
Commissioner.
