Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which
you request the Revolutionary War records of
Richard Loving, Patrick Birmingham, John Beveridge, Cornelius Hurley, all of Virginia, and
the War of 1812 records of James and Robert

time and research.

The Revolutionary War records of Cornelius

herewith.

Very truly yours
