Dear Madam:

The Revolutionary War records of this office show that on account of the service of Samuel Gray as lieutenant in the Pennsylvania Line during the Revolutionary war, Warrant 845 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued March 5, 1792, to Robert Connally, administrator.

There are no further data relative to Samuel Gray and none in regard to his family, because of the destruction of papers in the bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.

In order to obtain information relative to the location of this land, it is suggested that you address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, giving the warrant number, the acreage and the date the warrant was issued.

Very truly yours
