Frances Cady Hull,
143 Frelinghuysen Avenue,
Battle Creek, Michigan.

Madam:-
In response to your letter dated November 14, 1921, you are advised that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 494 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued October 12, 1790, on account of the services of Lieutenant [deleted] Cady Palmer [/deleted] ^Palmer Cady^ of Colonel Hazen's Regiment, Revolutionary War.
There is no further information on file as to his services nor any data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

Very respectfully,

Commissioner.
