                                                                   July 8, 1818.

Mrs. S. K. Frost,
254 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Madam:
    In response to your letter dated the 3" instant,
you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau
show that 200 acres of bounty land were allowed on account
of the services of Ephraim Loree as Surgeon's Mate in the New Jersey
Line on Warrant No. 2681 which issued March 25, 1797.
    There are no papers on file relative to said claim
as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800,
therefore there is no further data in regard to him.
    The Revolutionary War records fail to afford any
information in regard to James Lore, Loree, Lose: or Losee or
to John Helms described by you.

                                                     Very respectfully,
                                                      G Metzgaber [signature]
                           
                                                     Commissioner.
Last Warrant No. used
as it is found that
was the one under
which it was issued.
