Dear Sr:  

The writer is desirous of showing some official and incontestable evidence that his great-grandfather, Noah Miller, of Westfield, N.J., was a regularly enrolled soldier during the Revolutionary War.  This fact, it is presumed, can be ascertained from the Government Records.  I regret my inability to state whether or not Mr. Miller was a Militiaman in the service of the State of New Jersey or a member of the regular Army under the Continental Congress.

I understand from those interested in the Patriotic order of sons of the Revolution that with no further clue than I have, the fact of his service can be shown by reference to the rostrom.

If you will kindly inform me as to any steps necessary to have the search made, and the expense of the same, I will be glad to follow instructions and make the necessary remittance.

The following is the inscription upon the tombstone of my great-grandfather at Rising Sun, Indiana;  "Sacred to the Memory of Noah Miller, a Revolutionary Soldier, who departed this life Sept 12, 1838 in the 83rd year of his age."  
Yours Truly,
John F. Miller
