Madam:
In response to your letter of the 1" instant I have to advise you that Warrant No. 2044 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued February 14, 1797, on account of the service of Captain James Sommerville, of the Maryland Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to said soldier and no data at all as the his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
The above noted James Sommerville, under any spelling of that name, found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Herewith is returned your one dollar bill, as no fee is charge for this service.
Respectfully,
Washington Gardner
Commissioner.
Ret. by reg. mail
