Sir
I am requested by Mr. R.B. Walters of this place to make the following inquiry-
He States to me that his father Jacob Walters then residing on the E Shore of Maryland, entered the Naval Service of U.S. at the Commencement of the Revolutionary war, commanded a vessel of what class he does not know, altho [although] he has heard repeatedly talk about the war that he was in Several engagements, was wounded on the wrist, under his arm and ankle, which he [illegible] was told how received. He also states that he has repeatedly heard his mother urge his father to make application to the Government, but he always refused.
Be pleased to cause an examination to be made into this matter, and if there is anything due to him, the most satisfactory proof of his heirs can be produced.
