Madam,
In reply to your communication of a recent date, you are informed that this Bureau is unable to furnish a history of the service of any soldier of the Revolutionary war or of the war of 1812 unless he or his widow was a pensioner or an applicant for pension or bounty land; and that under the rules such
a history is furnished only to the soldier's descendants, and to them only when it is desired for historical or genealogical purposes.
The large number of inquiries made on this subject, and the length of time required to make a proper search of the records in each case, will not permit of information being given to any applicant concerning more than two soldiers.
In order that the soldier concerning whom you desire information may be identified, you are
requested to furnish as much as possible of the data called for below.

[stamp]Attention and reply through desk.
[stamped signature] J.R. Davenport First Deputy Commisioner

Trenton, January 23, 1903.
My dear Mr. Davenport,
Won't you please help me out of a troublesome matter? The rolls of the fourth Battalion, New Jersey Continental Line on file in this office show that a Clement Wood was commissioned Ensign of Captain Noadiah Wade's Company, New Jersey Continental
Line, November 23, 1776, and that he was dismissed the service November
21, 1777. There is also on the files of this office an extract from a pension claim (Invalid 44,098) of Clement Wood, Ensign, New Jersey Continental Line, wherein he states that his entire service in 1776 was as Ensign of Captain Noadiah Wade's Company, Fourth Battalion. If Clement Wood was an Ensign of Captain
Wade's Company and dismissed November 1, 1777, how could he have been pensioned for this service? I would like to know whether
these are two different men, or whether he reentered the service or something was done to clear him from this charge of dismissal
and entitle him to receive a pension.
An early reply will be gratefully appreciated.
Very truly yours,
[signature] [Illegible]
Deputy Adjutant-General.
