Under the act, entitled ""An act for the relief of certain surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Army of the Revolution," approved 15th May, 1828.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
31 July 1828

The annexed paper, relating to the claim of Joseph Labo under the abovementioned act, is respectfully referred to the Secretary of War, with a request that he will be pleased to cause me to be informed whether it appears, by any records in the War Department, that the claimant has received, or is entitled to receive, the bounty in land granted by Congress for service in the Continental line of the Army of the Revolution.

Richard Ruth
The Hon. the SECRETARY OF WAR.


War Department
Bounty land Office

The records of this office do not show that Joseph Labo of the New York line ever received a warrant for his Bounty land or is entitled thereto. It appears that Warrant No 13.360 issued to Joseph Labbe of Hazens regiment on the 12th of October 1790; but whether he is the applicant we have no means of ascertaining as the vouchers are lost or burnt.
