Mr. G.M. Saltzgaber, 
Commissioner, Bureau of Pensions, 
Washington, D. C. 

Dear Sir:
I thank you for your letter of the 3rd, in regard to Abraham Ellis, which is very much appreciated. The information contained therein is just what I desired and will help me to trace the children of Abraham, which I am anxious to do. 
Now I do not wish to inconvenience your department in connection with this personal matter, but if consistent with your rules and regulations would like to have some facts along the same line in regard to Aaron Allis, who served in the Massachusetts line during the Revolution and applied for a pension from Rensselaer County, New York. He was placed on the pension roll on May 9, 1818. If you can send me similar information about him as you have for Abraham it will be much appreciated and enable me to complete my Revolutionary data. 
Thanking you for anything you may be able to do in this line, I am, 
Very truly yours, 
H. D. Allis
