Mrs. F. Aldrich,
175 West 81st. St.
New York City.

Madam: -

    In response to your letter dated the ninth instant, you are advised that the records of this Bureau show that one John Young, Private in the Revolutionary War, was enrolled in the invalid pension roll of New Jersey at $3 per month.
    There is no further information concerning him in this Bureau as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office.
    The list of pensioners reported by the Secretary of War in 1833, shows John Young (Younga) pensioned from March 4, 1789 under the Law of June 7, 1785, etc, etc.
    If he was allowed $1044.00, at the rate of $36.00, per annum, it may be deduced that he was pensioned twenty-nine years, which (added to 1789) would show that he was paid until 1818, instead of having died in 1785, as stated in your letter.

                                     Very Respectfully
                                                //s//
                                        E.C. Tieman
                                       Acting Commissioner.
