Mrs. L. C. Tobin
Barnwell, S.C.
Madam:
In reply to your letter dated November 6, and received the 8th instant, you are advised that Warrant No. 1448, for 400 acres of bounty land issued May 2, 1796, on account of the services of Thomas McCalla, as Surgeon of the Pennsylvania troops, War of the Revolution.
There are no papers on file in said claim, the same having been destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The above is the only Thomas McCalla (variously spelled) found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
In order to ascertain whether said bounty land warrant was ever patented and located, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C. giving him the following data:
Bounty Land Warrant No. 1,448, for 400 acres, Revolutionary War, issued May 2, 1796, Thomas McCalla."
Very respectfully,
G. M. Saltzgaber
Commissioner.
