Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir: -
Referring to your letter of the 11th, regarding William Love, beg to say that I am not able to give you either the date of his birth or death.

He lived in York County, S. C., between the Broad River and Catawba River, and married Elizabeth Swansea. It is reported through the family connection that William Love was a member of William Gaston's military company, and that he was second lieutenant of the third regiment of regular troops. With this information, I trust you will be able to locate the records and advise me what you find,

Very truly yours,
W. W. Glenn
