Dear Sir:-
    Some time ago I wrote to your Department for information of the History of the Service of either John Holden Kimball or of Richard Kimball both of which fought in the Revolutionary War.
    Your Department asked for the organization to which the soldiers belonged, place of residence at enlistment and of the service, approximate date of death, and name of widow or File No. of claim of which a
Page 11

statement had already been furnished me.-
      If the No,- "T.R.W. 4.2,792 Int -Rev War - which appeared on the upper left hand corner of the statement I received some time ago I believe [last two words inserted] is what you referred was  [next five words "it is all I know" crossed out] an inference [illegible word] in reference to service of John Holden Kimball  Richard Kimball I believe was born at Pomfret, Conn., Aug. 21, 1762 and entered the service about Jan. or Feb. 1782 as a substitute for his brother John, in Captain Reily's Company, Col Samuel B. Webbs Regiment - [next three word "until about 18" are crossed out] was there in until about Late in 1783, but I do not now name of his widow or place of his death.
     Thanking you in advance for such information as you may be able to give me   I am
                             Yours respectfully

Sir:
    In response to your letter dated January 15, 1921, you are advised that the Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his service, and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file for Ensign and Lieutenant John Kimball, the father of the Revolutionary pensioner Richard Kimball, Survivor File No. 39814, whose history is herewith furnished you.

                       Very respectfully,

                                Commissioner
