Dear Madam: 
Reference is made to your letter in which you request a list of the names of all soldiers of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, found on the records of this office, with the surname Pangborn.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War and War of 1812 data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it has been impossible to prepare lists of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 applicants for pension for one person or organization.
You state that you are writing a history of that family to be donated to the State of Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey. 
In cases of extensive research, such as you anticipate the usual procedure is for the research worker to call at this office and collect data from the pension claims. If you, or some responsible person designated by you, should undertake this work, every effort will be made to aid you when you come. The Revolutionary War and War of 1812 pension records are located at present in the Navy Building, Wing 8, Room 1851, 19th Street and Constitution Avenue, N. W. 
The record of one Revolutionary War soldier is furnished you herewith, which, it is hoped, will aid you; it is that of Joseph Pangborn. 

Very truly yours
