My dear Mr. Baker:

Your kind letter of yesterday and my brothers
applications were received today. The papers of John J. Parish'
were sent to him to be properly signed.

I copied the boys papers from mine which were accepted
by the D. A. R. in 1914. My number is 108140 on my papers under
" Give below a reference, by volume and page to the documentary
and other authority upon which you found your record" is written
Revolutionary War Record Section Dept. of the Interior.
Bureau of Pensions, Washington D.C.?
8 L. M.
S. F. 53136 (is Abner Morton )

then stamped on it see National No. 82357 -

My papers were made out by Mrs. Lloyd of Effingham, now
deceased. I had all the data and stories of service but not
service, so where she obtained her service records I can not
say. If your registar will kindly let me know what more he wants
in way of authority I'll try and obtain it. Unfortunately I am
not where I can find records and had to depend upon some one else
in mine but as the D. A. R. accepted my papers I thought would
be a simple matter with my brothers.

*I hope there will be no more delays as the boys expect
any time to go overseas and they are anxious to be accepted
before leaving.

Thanking you for your kindness and for an early reply
I am
Sincerely
Signed, Bess S. Parish

P. S. In an old letter I find where Mrs. Lloyd said that she
recd data from Bureau of Pensions. There is no D. A. R. Chapter here asays she is in
and I am a member at large so of course have no records to refer to

*send it as she says she is in a hurry to get it.
