Gentlemen: 
I am not sure whether the information which I require can be given to me by your department or by the Department of War. I know you will advise me if I should make inquiries of the latter. 
If, however, you can tell me what I want to know, I should be very much obliged. 
First, what record have you of the life of Nathaniel Irish, aide de camp to George Washington, during the Revolutionary War? 
Second, as a lineal descendant of Mr. Irish, what books in the New York Public Library would furnish me any information on the subject of his own personal ancestry? 
Thanking you for the trouble to which this will put you, I remain, 
Very sincerely yours, 
Mary Tupper Jones.

Very truly yours

Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the records of this bureau that Warrant No. 2591, for 300 acres of bounty land, was issued August 30, 1791 on account of the services of Nathaniel Irish, captain of artillery artificers, War of the Revolution. 

[handwritten side note]
I was advised by phone by Mr. Robb, General Land Off-, that this is the warrant that was patented, so I omitted the 1133 one.

There are no further data on file in regard to his services, and none, whatever, in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was destroyed by fire in 1800. 
His age is not shown. 
This is the history of the only soldier named Nathaniel Irish that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau. 
It is suggested that you apply to the Director of the New York State Library, Albany, New York, for information in regard to books in which you are interested. 
Very truly yours 
E. W. MORGAN 
Acting Commissioner
