Received your favor of the July 15th and thank you, for your prompt reply, I regret very much indeed that I find it necessary to make so many requests for the Revolutionary War data. If you will be kind enough to grant me one more favor I will more than appreciate your kindness, I would like very much to obtain a copy of the application for pension made by Peter Lozier (my great-grandfather’s brother.)
