Honorable Joseph W. Byrns
House of Representatives

My dear Mr. Byrns:
In response to your letter received this day, I have the honor to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1224 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued February 2, 1791 to Thomas Reed, administrator, on account of the services of Lieutenant Samuel Reed of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to his services and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
The above noted is the only soldier named Samuel Reed of the Pennsylvania Line found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Sincerely,
[Blank signature line]
Acting Commissioner.
