Mrs. L. D. Childs,
       2202 Hampton Street,
               Columbia, S. C.

Madam:
      In response to your letter dated the fifth instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that Henry Gassaway was allowed 200 acres of bounty land for his service as Lieutenant in the Maryland troops, on Warrant No. 859, which issued July 28 1790.
      There are no papers on file relative to said claim, as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
 The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to John Spring as described by you.
Very respectfully
(signature of commissioner)
Commissioner.

Son, John Springs of Mecklenburg Co., NC was Capt. but the Sr is published in the first census report of 1790 & I believe he was of this Com of Safety or some such office.
