Rev. War Section.
February 16, 1918.
Mr. Sam P. Cochran, Dallas, Texas
Sir:  In response to your letter dated the fifth instant, you are advised that the records of this Bureau show that on February 16, 1795, a Warrant numbered 96, issued for four hundred acres of bounty land, in favor of Hodijah Baylies, on account of his services as a Major of the Massachusetts troops in the War of the Revolution. There is no further information in this Bureau concerning said officer, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office in 1800. In order to obtain the location of said bounty land, you should address the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D.C., giving him the data contained in the first paragraph of this letter. Very respectfully,  [handwritten signature illegible] Commissioner.
