Madam;
In response to your letter dated the 18th and received the 21st instant, you are advised that a careful search of the Revolutionary War records of the Bureau fails to ILLEGIBLE any information in regard to Daniel Magee, and that Daniel McGee a  history of whose claim Sur. File No 33, 389, Rev. War, was furnished you the 15th instant, is the only soldier of the name found in the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
It is not within the  province of the Bureau to state whether or not the above mentioned Daniel McGee is the one indicated in the record furnished you from Adjutant General's Office.
Very Respectfully,
J. L. Davenport
Commissioner

Dear Sir:-
I received you letter of November 15th. this morning and thank you for same.  I desire one more bit of information.  The records you give me is as follows:
"rev. war Record.
F.W.
S. File 33,389
In reply to your request of 9th inst. received 12 inst. for a statement of the military history of Daniel McGee, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, etc."
I asked for Daniel Magee instead of Daniel McGee.  Do your records show that it was Daniel McGee?
I received the following from the War Department, Adjutant General's Office 1970874 the following record, which spells the name "Magee" as is correct.  These records seem to correspond in the main:-
"Adjutant General's Office, 1970874,  The records of this office show that one Daniel Magee served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Captain John McGowan's Company 4th Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Colonel William Butler.  He enlisted April 25, 1777 at Germantown, and is shown to have received a sum of money for the balance of a settlement between the United States and him for pay to January 1, 1781"
Is Daniel McGee of your record the same Daniel Magee

of the Record of the War Department.  This record of the Adjutant General is signed G. W. Andrew, as I read it.
Your record seems to agree in the greater part and the name has always been Magee.
Trusting I am not asking more that I should, I am,

Commissioner of Pensions,

Dear Sir:-
I am trying to secure proof of my being a legitimate person to joint the Daughters of the American Revolution.
I have from the War Department, "Adjutant General's Office" the record of my fathers's great grandfather, Daniel Magee, who served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Captain John McGowan's company 4th Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Colonel William Butler.  He enlisted April 25, 1777, at Germantown, and is shown to have received a sum of money for the balance of a settlement between the United States and him for pay to January 1, 1781.  No later record of him is found there.  They suggested that perhaps you might give more complete record.
His son, my fathers' grandfather, was born in Lancaster, Pa. and lived in Clarion county, Pennsylvania from 1814 to 1885.  My fathers' father was Daniel F. Magee and served in the Civil War, enlisting from an Iowa regiment.  My own father, John Calvin Magee, was soldier of the Civil War enlisting in the 9th Iowa and now on pension and living.
I shall appreciate any information that
