Madam:

I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau it appears that two hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant # 2592 which was issued September 15, 1791, on account of the service of Alexander Powers, Lieutenant and Quartermaster of the Artillery Artificers, Continental Line, War of the Revolution. 

There is no data on file as to his family and no further data as to the soldier, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burning in November, 1800.

Respectfully,

WINFIELD SCOTT
