Place, Daniel

Ionia, Mich, June 4th 1884

To Hon. W. W. Dudly
Com. of Pensions Washington D.C.
Dear Sir: I have been applied to bya very old man by the name of Josiah Place  one of 4 brothers, sons of one Daniel Place an old Revolutionary soldier. He informs me that about 30 yrs. ago while living in Woodstock, Windham Co. Conn. a "pension bill" he terms it, but I suppose to have been a notice or perhaps voucher, informing them that there was $800 pension money to do their father before his death, that would be paid to them as his heirs. He informs me that it was signed by all of his brothers including himself & returned to Washington. Now from that day to this he has heard nothing from it. Now this is all the information I can get from the old gentleman & if possible, I would be glad to have it looked up for him, & the exact status of the claim, if any, ascertained. An early reply would be appreciated.
Very Truly
Wm O Webster
