Dear Madam:  

Reference is made to your letter, without date, received January 17th, with which you enclosed check for forty cents to cover cost of ciot of the bounty land warrant issued on account of service  of Henry Grier (Greer) in the Pennsylvania line, War of the Revolution.  You strate that you requested his record on December 9, 1934, and received no reply.  

The records of this office show that a report was prepared for you on December 24th in response to your request of December 9, 1934, but that it was inadvertently mailed to another address.  It is registered that you, for this reason, have had no reply.  

The records of this office show that Warrant #842, for two hundred acres of bounty land,k was issued May 17, 1791, on account of the service of Henry Greer as lieutenant in the Pennsylvania, artillery, War of the Revolution.  

There are no further data on file relative to this officer and none in regard to his family, because of the destruction of papers in such early bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.  

This is the record of the only soldier with the name Henry Greet or other spelling, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.  

The bounty land warrant, noted above, was mailed to the claimant, therefore is not on file in this office .
