Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 28" instant, you are advised that in the report from the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States which was printed in 1835 on the list of Invalid Pensioners who were paid at the Virginia Agency but whose residence could not be ascertained by reason of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814 appears the name of William Adkinson, a Private, who was pensioned at $40 per annum from September 4, 1789 under Act of June 7, 1785.
This Bureau has no further data in its files relative to said pensioner owing to the above noted destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814.
Very respectfully,
[signed] G M Saltzgaber
Commissioner
