Baltimore 7 May 1833.

I am requested to enquire whether any provision
has been made for Clement Skerrett a Captain in the
Revolutionary War. Capt Skerrett has been dead for several
years, and it is only within a very short time, that it has
been ascertained that he left any blood relations in this
Country - Be please to give this letter as early attention as
you can & state what proof will be considered sufficient
to establish the connection between the late Capt Skerrett &
the persons claiming relationship, and in what manner this
proof must be taken, in the event of his representatives
being entitled to any thing from the Government.
