BUREAU OF PENSIONS. 
Washington, DC. Oct 8 1888 
Sir,
In answer to your communication of the 25th ultimo, relative to an application for pension supposed to have been forwarded [for pension, crossed out] in 1851-2, on account of the services of Oliver Stacey in the war of the Revolution, you are advised that no such papers are on file in this Bureau.
The Soldier applied for pension in 1821-2, but there was not then, nor was there before his decease in 1822, nor before that of his widow, in 1825, any law existing, under which either would have been entitled to pension, and it is probable for this reason the agent who prepared the paper, did not file them in 1851-2.
