Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of soldiers with the surname, Cade, who served in the Revolutionary and Civil War.

The Veterans Administration does not have a record of all soldiers who served in the wars cited by you. [Claims] made for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States based upon military or naval service in those wars, no [information] is on file in this office.

This office has no record of Confederate soldiers who served in the Civil War.

The Adjutant General, War Department, is custodian of military records, and naval records are on file in the Navy Department, all in this city. A part of the Confederate records are in custody of the Adjutant General also, and many such records are preserved in the
capitals of the states from which the Confederate soldiers served.

There is only one claim for pension on file based upon the Revolutionary War service of a soldier with the surname, Cade. It is file of John Cade.  His record is given herewith as found in pension claim, [S. illegible], based upon his service in that war.

The Civil War [records] being much more extensive than those of the Revolutionary War, it is essential that you give the full name of your [ancestor] who served in that war and as much as possible of the following data in regard to him:  approximate dates of birth and death, residences at enlistment and after service, and name of widow.
Very truly yours
